| Here on craftgrrl there is to be NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!!! Posts violating this rule will be automatically deleted. We will strictly enforce this. This includes advertising, references to Ebay/Etsy shops and listings, selling journals, or on-line shops. If you are interested in buying an item posted here, please check the poster's journal and userinfo for more information, and contact them outside of the community. If you can not find any information, you may ask the poster if they are selling the item. (This should be an absolute last resort!) Images with WATERMARKS containing a personal or store name are allowed, but watermarks containing a website address or local store adress are not permitted. "Mary's Stuff" is okay, "marysstuff.com" is not. If you're looking to sell/trade your crafts, please visit these communities. |
