It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

This is a good move. Private sales can be very hit-and-miss when it comes to potentially risky batteries.

Unreported crashes, poor battery maintenance, unseen corrosion, or uncertified battery packs are too easy to buy/sell privately.

At least with vetted businesses, there's some assurance and accountability.
