Thanks for the heads up on how to go about selling items. Very helpful and easy to navigate through!
A question for mods/admins:
Is it no longer required to put a prefix (FS, FT, etc.) on for sale threads? I see some with, and some without. It's not the end of the world, but it is more difficult to notice what threads are sale threads, when looking via the "New Posts" tab.
The new FS forum did not enforce thread prefixes. I've made this a requirement and moving forward it will be a requirement.

Can HF members sell their hammock-related DIY skills/services for a custom item?
I mean, as opposed to building a hammock, and then selling that hammock.
Example - "FS: 11' GE Hammock - Your Color Choice"
Or "FS: Hammock DIY Skills"
My answer to that is no. What you have done is pretty much jumped across the line to being a vendor so you would need to be guided by the vendor section of the TOS which states you can not sell your items in the FS section.
In fact to take the answer one step further, if you make up the items and sell them in the FS section you will be asked to become a vendor if you do it more than once or twice. That is not to say you can not make a stove, sell it, ...then make a hammock, sell it, then make a tarp, sell it. That does not raise a red flag. We all assume you are in the learning phase and leave it a that. But, if you sell a stove this week, and again next week, and then again the following week even us simple minded MODS will catch on pretty quickly that you are running a small time business of some sort.
