It's complicated. They do this to prevent innocent buyers/sellers from getting scammed or trying to prevent it as much as possible. Anyone can create a user name ans go on there requesting to buy or sell all sorts of things so they are trying to minimize fraudulent transactions. TPF has a lot more members compared to HF and the value of most designer handbags and shoes/accessories are usually much more than designer jeans so there is more risk involved. They don't do it to be mean or to be on a power trip.
Just keep posting and participating on TPF and you will get in eventually. I got in within 2 months of actively posting. Make sure not to start drama on the board because that will work against you. Good luck!

Locking down the marketplace is one thing, but totally devoiding people of any kind of commerce or ability to get what they want is just kind of annoying imo.
Can I just say I LOVE HF and how friendly the members are and willing to get stuff for each other when we are able! |
