There should be a way to become a vendor.

[33OH]

I've been PMing Yaris Bueller for a few months and even made a thread on it in the Sponsored section. There is absolutely no way to become a vendor.

But PLEASE - I would like to become a vendor.

Start acting like a vendor and wait to see how quickly someone tries to shut you down. That at least will be getting someones attention.

Offering product for sale in threads and having a sig file that promotes your site is not a great way to go about it. But whatever works. Just saying.

Like I said, I'm not trying to be disrepectful. And I know you're a (well, the only) paying vendor on this site. But I have PM'ed multiple moderators, who of course can't do anything with the subject but point me to Yaris Bueller. And Yaris Bueller has logged in since some of my PM's, so he must just be ignoring them.

I'm sure he's a busy guy (or at least I'll give him the benefit of the doubt), but I really don't have much of a choice.

And I've been doing business on here since 2008 - but it wasn't to the volume to warrant becoming a vendor. I don't think it's any secret that I sell wheels and tires. But if any regular on here is shocked by that, well I don't know what to tell you. :wink:

It's almost gotten to that point - but as I said, I don't want to be disrespectful at the same time. Garm pays to use this forum to sell. I would like to do the same thing. He was just fortunate enough to act when the admin's cared about the site enough to log in.

[cali yaris]

Ok, so let me ask you this, since it's your desire to be respectful. And I don't mean to start an argument at all, just following logic, which is my curse in life many times.

If it's ok for you to offer products for sale, and have a sig file that promotes your sales, isn't it ok for anyone to do it, paying or not? Can lots of people do it?

What is clear here is that you're getting special treatment, which might be ok with everyone. I honestly have mixed feelings about it, and will defer to the Mods, whom I think make reasonable and good decisions on here.

[cali yaris]

And I'm not the only paying vendor. TireRack gets a whole sub-forum named after them -- trust me, they are paying for that.

dunno if you can expect a response but at least it's a proper first step

huh, didn't know that existed.

What happens after you click Proceed with Paypal/Credit Card Payment?

[33OH]

Yeah - never seen that before. So... what does happen if I pay? I'm sure it's not instant vendor status - is that something the admins have to do as well?

I've seen many people offer products, as I'm sure you have too. And the mods have expressed concern to me, but they can't really "crack down" on me since I am willing to pay and become a vendor. I'm just waiting for the okay.

I'll remove my section of my signature for now until we get it resolved. I already made it smaller, because again - I'm not trying to cause any issues. I just want to sell some wheels and pay for this shop I'm renting, and the equipment I've purchased. :smile:

Ever play Russian Roulette? :D but I suppose if there's no response you can always put a claim with Paypal

[33OH]

Paid.

[contraband831]

Sweet, lets see the deals you got for us!

[eTiMaGo]

drumroll.......

[cali yaris]

Awesome - congrats! Done right!

Put that original sig back up!

[33OH]

^ Thanks, Garm. Again, no disrespect meant your way (or the mods way, or even Yaris Bueller's way). I just want to sell some wheels. :smile:

[33OH]

This thread can probably be deleted.. we'll just wait and see what happens.

Keep it around for the sole purpose of having this on record ^

[33OH]

Yeah that's true - that is a pretty valuable piece of information.

[tomato]

I think we should leave the thread up. If nothing else, it shows what to do to become a vendor.

Good luck Ryan.

[tomato]

Of course, we could also close the thread if you like. Let us know.

[33OH]

Just leave it up... and just got the PM - official vendor! Woohoo!

[eTiMaGo]

Halleluja, there is still hope!

And congrats!!!

[why?]

and your name is all green too. congrats! So how many people have tried to buy 20's and above from you?

[33OH]

Halleluja, there is still hope!

Thank you! :cool:

And hahaha nobody yet.. :biggrin:

I did just hear a horror story about my friends having to mount a 26" inch tire by hand though. :eek:

[tomato]

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow ....

Whoa that was a little big ;)

Congrats, Ryan!

[33OH]

^ Haha, thanks tomato!

[WeeYari]

so how much time did you buy?

[why?]

now that would be a nice trick, time in a bottle. For sale! buy more years on earth!

Oh and congrats on being green. Or turning your screen name green.

[tomato]

Halleluja, there is still hope!



now, now, Thomas :wink:

[why?]

26"s that is nuts! I hope it wasn't on an economy car. And some of these sidewalls are getting so tiny as to not even exist. You spend that much cash on wheels and the first pebble you hit will bend them. Totally nuts.

[33OH]

Just as a P.S. - since I'm getting a lot of messages, not sure why my sponsorship ended, but I have indeed paid...
