Selling and Trading Section + Other things come discuss!

Nate

My suggestion here is

Have 2 selling and trading sections.
1 where the original is and the other in the Donor section

The purpose of #1 would be have people post for CD Key's any other IRL thing or game items. Anything that is NOT fg trades

#2 have the FG trades happen for donors ONLY. This prevents random multi/scammers making an account to make some bs story and end up scamming users.
Also I think the serious traders wouldn't mind donating 5$ to be safer while trading.

Along with this happening for the users who cannot donate they have the ability to buy the Members++ rank(Being changed to Donors++ or Valued Member soon) so they have the ability to also view that section.

Along with that we actually implement Trade Assistants that can teamview/moderate the section and go through the measures to make sure users have the FG they are selling and make sure the funds are actually there.

I think if we do this it will cut down at least 65% of scamming/randoms.

The only downfall is users might find another site to go and do these trades but I think it's also worth the risk of losing some members that are only here to scam..

How do you all feel about this?

I say let em go to another site. Then scammers will go to another site.
I think a legit person is more likely to buy df access then a scammer.
Scammers want money. Why would they pay for an account that is going to be banned?

remember they can donate however much $$ is needed for DF then once they have DF they can do their scamms then retract the donation 2 Tramway.

Ye4s but this makes it hard for scammers either way.

Ti · Posted: 25 Jan 2011 08:44 pm Post subject:

might make it a tad harder but any1 could probly get 5$ for DF , scam , then retract the 5$.

There has to be a time length that is there before they're not allowed to retract their money.
Make them wait till that time length is over then give them access.

imo i think it'll work out just fine.. as long as we can clearly identify who is dirty and who is trustworthy..

"To account for scanners chargebacking donations to go around this new hypothetical rule

...just make them wait 30 days for the chargeback period time to expire (if they use paypal funds)"
