Would an EU section in classifieds be possible (or desirable)?

@Tony

Post Brexit private sales between the EU and UK has become problematic and costly due to VAT.

Would it be possible to have an EU sub forum in classifieds for those PFM users in the EU who can still trade quite seamlessly?

Yeah, go for it! Rub it in, why not?

 

[topa]

Or analog to that „FS/IC“ button a second with „EU/UK“

 

[Mike P]

Good idea.

 

[AndyU]

Would be useful for me too.

 

[gintonic]

oooh how about a separate for N.America as well?

 

[Kirk]

A good idea.

 

[AndyU]

Or maybe just ask people to put country/location in the description ?

 

[wiresandmore]

This would be great!

As a UK resident I absolutely insist that we have full sovereignty over any EU posting, coming over here, selling their hi-fi..............harrumph, whatever's next

[gintonic]

[sideshowbob]

Can we have a separate section for Brexiters to post in, and then lock them in there.

Good idea, but I think you’ve tagged the wrong Tony. You need @Tony L …

I’d go for at least a county or state…etc. I can’t see any objections myself but I’m sure there are some…

Recent developments have made the movement of sausages and M&S ready meals easier, so if you're looking for a pound of Cumberland's finest, you should be able to use the classifieds as-is. For hifi equipment, it may be more problematic, apart from Bayz speakers, obviously;

Sensible, but I'd go further and insist any classifieds user puts their geographical location; postcode's okay, but a pain to look it up each time. During the Covid era and even now, I'd only be interested in stuff which is within reach. The number of posts asking the buyer/seller's location really shouldn't be necessary.

postcode's okay,

nein - lead thieves to your door.......

Ouch! Its as good as advertising your address! Expect some unwelcome visitors.

Its surprising how much information I (and therefore many others) can obtain from just a few clues on the Internet.

you'll never work it out. It only exists in a virtual machine.
