Just thought I'd clarify a few things regarding the Ozhonda trader selection process. This is of course given the recent allegations made against a particular trader. That trader account has been temporarily suspended until an explanation is given.
First up it should be made clear that we do not and will not allow any illegal or fraudulent activities on Ozhonda. We also do rely on members making moderators aware of any issues. Marketplace (including traders) issues can and should be reported.
For the most part, traders on here provide goods to members, with a few providing services. One of the requirements of being a trader is that a valid ABN be provided which is the same as the business trading name. This allows members to contact the department of fair trading if anything goes wrong.
That said, given recent events I will be asking more question about traders offering services, in particular I will request any licensing details for these services (including their Motor Vehicle Repairers licence number) and have it displayed in the sticky thread of their section (under "Trader Contact Details"). The Trader Contact Details thread already has contact details and the ABN. The ABN is always verified via http://www.abr.business.gov.au/ to ensure this is valid.
I'm happy to keep this thread open for constructive discussions. If anything goes off topic then this will be closed. Note that this thread is not open for discussion relating to the allegations made against the trader in question, but more for any suggestions associated with benefiting the wider community.
