  1. Hello eblend, welcome to The Silver Forum
  2. 1. PayPal & eBay take fees for selling. They both also collect extensive data on the sellers, and can go after them legally to recover any losses which arose were they had to reimburse their customers for. TSF does not have the extensive financial resources as these companies do, nor the legal teams, we also do not want the responsibilities of storing such personal information of customer's that eBay and PayPal take. TSF also does not charge any fees at all for selling on the forum, nor do we ever indeed to do so. It simply would not be financially viable to offer such a service as you are suggesting. There are many topics on the forum about the risk of trading, including the paragraph below taken from this topic: https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/39476-⚠️-please-be-careful-when-trading-some-basic-checks-you-should-do/?tab=comments#comment-440052 I note that you currently do not have Premium membership, if you are serious about trading on the forum you may wish to purchase this as highlighted above. TSF will remove members who we deem to be detrimental to the forum or high risk to other forum members. Though of course we can not accept responsibility for any trades should they go wrong, which is why you must also do your due diligence and be willing to take on any risks of trading on the forum. We also advise to ideally trade between long standing members, i.e. ones who have been here for several years and have extensive posting on the forum. TSF is a community built on trust, and members also work hard to maintain TSF as a trusted place to trade on, and actively comment on or report 'for sales' topics to protect other members. The advantages of trading on the forum include but are not limited to, absolutely no fees on sales, better prices for buyers as well as sellers as cutting out any middleman, the chance to trade directly with other members. Some members also believe trading on the forum is of lower risk, as they trade with members that they have had many many trades with. At the end of the day it is your choice, you are free to decide where you wish to buy from and TSF has been open and honest about the potential risks

  12. If you sell to a dealer you will likely get under spot value. If you sell on the forum you can likely get some of the premium back as you are selling direct to other investors/collectors without a middleman, so better prices for sellers and better prices for buyers If trading on the forum please do read the required 'QuickStart guide to trading' found in each applicable trading area. Many members choose to exclusively buy and sell on The Silver Forum, some members also like to purchase direct from dealers. The choice is yours
  13. The production cost as a % of the silver in the item is higher on smaller items than larger, so this is why smaller sized silver items tend to have a higher cost per oz vs larger items. There is also VAT in the UK on silver unfortunately.

  18. You may have noticed the new ranking system which replaced the old when the software was updated yesterday to the latest version. This ranking system is designed to help encourage new members to engage on the forum and to increase overall topics and posts. Members are awarded points for interacting on the forum in various ways, posts, topics, reacting to posts etc. There is also a badge system with various badges for different achievements. We can look at improving the system and adding additional badges in the future, such as one for members who have listed X amount of trade topics on the forum, and for member's who have been here a long time, e.g. 3 or 5 years+. To clarify the system is simply based on interactions on the forum, such as posts and topics, and doesn't correspond to a user's knowledge about precious metals or accuracies of their posts.
