istorya.net is not focused man on the b&s section. reputation is by word of mouth and also by familiarizing the people who are often here may it be just talking/chatting, or selling. if u really want to buy something through istorya.net then just be careful and be mindful nalang sa imong transaction. personally i've dealt with many sellers here and i haven't encountered any mishaps or problems sa buying. as with selling, sayon rapod aside from the usual lowballers no problems raman kay kung naa ka gi-post nga item and people find it interesting they will inquire. as with assurance nga walay ilad - lisod na, naa man gani ilad sa uban established B&S focused sites so it just depends on the buyer to be vigilant enough and use common sense not to rush into buying something online. word of advice to those who plan to sell here sa istorya = just be active, people will notice you and you will gain personal interactions with some of the users which in turn may become your customers. a good example kanang si SUPERIDOL BUWAD MAN => SUPER ACTIVE sa forum and people got to notice what he sells and in turn naa na xa mga suki diri sa istorya. just hang around istorya.net kay ISTORYA.NET is more than just talk. hehehehe
