Guide: How to Avoid a scammer and make a successfull trade

1) Check if seller is Verified Trader.

Verified Trader, means that this member has a valid paypal account, and a valid payment method checked my maxcheaters. Also this status will avoid kids, non paypal users, non serious sellers to obtain this status. Warning this status is not enough to make a successfull buy/trade with the seller.

2) Check Marketplace report section (under construction)

In this area, all members are free to discuss, report, review, all past buy/sales by user . so you can easily track someone before trusting him. Warning this is not enough to make a successfull buy/trade with the seller.

3) Avoid buying very expensive Products

Avoid buying very expensive products, because you will end up scammed , if a seller has made a successfull sale for a small ammount of money, doesnt mean he wont scam at big ammounts of money.

4) Avoid normal and low post members, prefer Donators/VIP

Avoid making deals with low post members, normal status members, and prefer Donators and VIPs. Serious people always have a better status from normals. But be carefull, this is just a proposal.

5) Dont make wire transfers , or paysafecard methods as payment

If you pay with wire transfer or paysafecard, you are going to be scammed 99% . You cant refund after this.

6)Buy at paypal with "goods or services" and not as "donate for family"

With this way, you have a chance to request a refund, if something goes wrong. If you send as donation, you cant request a refund or claim.

7)Low post members usually get scammed

If you have lost post count, you have a probability to get scammed. why? simple because scammer things like that: "noone knows him, so if i scam him ,noone will notice it". Scammers usually dont scam old members , because of their reputation.

8) Avoid Negative feedback members

Negative feedback members are usually members who dont follow forum rules, like spamming, swearing and other. Avoid them is the best option.
