WTT [Service] Avoid Scam: Safe Trading

[Lokus]

● Introduction ●

Hello to everyone who is reading me. Im Lokus and I have decided to start a new service wich will be avaible to all forum users. What is it? Well, the service consist in providing a safe environment where to make exchanges without risk of being scammed.

● Who am I? ●

In order to create a comfortable environment, I want to provide some further information about me. My name is Oscar and Im from Spain. Im law student.

● How it works ●

Basically, I will be the intermediary between the buyer and the seller. This means that the seller will have to send/share with me the business object, and once I have verified with the buyer that its what they had agreed, he will have to send the money to the seller. Once the seller has recieved the money, I will send to the buyer the business object.

● Service limitations ●

• Everyone can use my services, but not everywhere. Below I show wich kind of trades I support and wich not:

 I support LineageII items and chars trades.
 I support LineageII files/codes/programs trades.
 I support Lineage II powerlevel trades.
 I support League of Legends Skin codes trades.
 I support webs/coding/ebooks/facebook pages/gfx trades.

 I dont support League of Legends accounts trades: due the ease wich is recovering a League of Legends account back, I prefer not to interfere in those trades, as I can be judged as thief when Im not.
 I dont support money exchange trades: there are enough trusted members offering those services who doesnt need any kind of control in their trades.
 I dont support dedicated machines trades: I cant guarantee that you will get your dedicated machine, so I wont take part in those trades.

• As this service is fresh and I dont have any kind of reputation in the forum, I wont take part in trades over 75 eur. Also, I dont want to be involved in high amount of money business, as the chances of having problems are way high.

• I dont take part in trades where the payment method its paysafecard, as it can get damaged or lost during the transaction and I dont want to have nothing to do with it.

● FAQS ●

1. I got the same chance of being stolen by the seller/buyer than by you, why I would choose your service?
No, you havent the same chance of being stolen by the seller/buyer than by me. Moreover, the chances of being stolen by me are 0. For me, there are two types of people: the ones who believe that stealing is not ethical and mantain that value above all, and the ones who believe that stealing has no consequence, not even ethical. Im inside that small first group, and I will maintain my values over any circunstance.

2. While trading files/ebooks/webs/codes/programs you will also have access to them.
I will, obviously. However, reread the number 1 FAQ to solve this problem. Also, if you see your content (the one you gave me when using my services) shared or being reselled somewhere, I encourage you to report it to global moderators so they can take actions against me.

3. Im a seller: wich guarantees I get by using your service.
Basically, the main guarantee is that you wont have to go first and then wait for payment (or not).

4. Im a buyer: wich guarantees I get by using your service.
Mainly, your guarantee is that you will get the business object that you expected (and not a different or not working one) and also you wont have to go first with the money either.

5. Why do you call it "service"? isnt that a business? 
My main goal is helping to eliminate scammers in this forum, and make them see that this is not a place where you can do whatever you want without consequences. However, my services will have a fee from 3 to 7% over the amount of money involved on the trade. All trades where Im involved will be posted and all the money I get from this service will go to Maxcheaters fundraiser. What does that mean? I dont get anything for doing that, so all I ask for is respect for my service and myself. Some examples are:

• In a trade where 10 eur are involved, I will get 1 eur for mxc fundraiser.
• In a trade where 15 eur are involved, I will get 1.5 eur for mxc fundraiser.
• In a trade where 20 eur are involved, I will get 2 eur for mxc fundraiser.
• In a trade where 30 eur are involved, I will get 2.5 eur for mxc fundraiser.
• In a trade where 40 eur are involved, I will get 3 eur for mxc fundraiser.
• In a trade where 50+ eur are involved, I will get 3.5 eur for mxc fundraiser.

● Examples ●

To see how that works, lets put some examples of different business:

• You want to buy 300kk adena @ Official Lineage II Server, but you are not sure about if the seller is trustable or not.
In that case, the seller will have to send the adena (or item(s)) to me. Once I have verified that its the amount that the buyer is willing to buy and he/she is satisfied, he/she will send the money to the seller's paypal (+ the fee to mine, wich can be send by the seller also). Once transaction is done, I will send the adena or items to the buyer.

• You want to buy a feature for your Java server, but you are not sure if it will work or not.
In that case, the seller will have to send me the feature (code or w/e) and the buyer will have to send me the money (+ the fee, wich can be send by the seller also). Once I have verified that the feature is what buyer expects, I will send the money to the seller and the file to the buyer. In case the feature is not what buyer expected, file, money and fee will be refunded. In case I got any doubt about the quality and functioning of the feature, I will let the buyer to take a look via screen share (with limited time to avoid rips).


● Last words ●

• I will stop that service if someone treats me like an scammer. I do that for free (for me, as all the benefit goes to MxC) and I wont tolerate any kind of flames against my person.
• I can refuse to take part in any kind of trade if I think that my position will be in risk. For example, if I consider that any of the parts are not trustable before the trade.
• All changes made to that post in the future will be announced above.
• Keep in mind that appart from safe trading, you are also contribing to maxcheaters.com.
• I dont give a fuck about what last "middleman" did, Im not him.

● Contact ●

• Personal message @ MxC will be the only contact method by now as I wont make my skype official by now. I will never add someone to Skype if they dont called for my service (and I will pm them from that account after adding them @ Skype), so if you get an invitation from someones who claimbs to be me, its fake.

I didnt want to make an ultra post with images and so on, as I want to see first how forum members recieve that.
