Hi everyone, 

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately featuring "random" sellers and a ton of questions about people I've never heard of. I need to be very clear about how we are handling these moving forward to keep this community safe.

### 🔍 **Search First, Ask Second**
Just because I haven’t had the time to publish a formal **Trusted Sellers List** yet doesn't mean you can't do your own homework. Reddit is a massive resource. Before you post asking about a seller, **search Reddit** to see if they are listed or reviewed anywhere else. 

### 📋 **Status of the Sellers List**
To be transparent: I haven't had the time to create the list myself, and the person who was helping me with it had to step away for a bit. Between my professional life and managing this sub, my plate is full. Until that list is finalized, we have to be extra cautious.

### 🚫 **The "Instant Deletion" Rule**
I know this might seem a bit "dictatorial," but for the safety of this sub: **If I see a post featuring a seller I have never heard of, I will delete it immediately.**

**Here is why:**
* I do not have the time to vet new or "random" sellers right now.
* I will only vouch for sellers who have a proven track record that I can personally verify.
* Allowing unvetted sellers to be promoted puts every member here at risk of being scammed.

### 🤝 **Bottom Line**
If your post is removed, please don't take it personally. I am doing this to protect the integrity of the sub. We aren't here to be a testing ground for unknown sellers who haven't earned a reputation yet.

Thank you for understanding and for helping keep this community a safe space!
