Guide Tips for Safe Trading in L2 Services and Items

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share some tips to help you avoid being scammed when trading L2 services and items. Check them out:

Feedback: While feedback can be helpful, it's not always a reliable indicator of trustworthiness. Just because someone hasn't scammed someone else before, it doesn't mean they won't scam you. Keep this in mind and don't rely solely on feedback.
Get to know the person you're trading with: This is a crucial step in building trust. Try to gather as much information about the person as possible. Ask questions about their location, what else they're selling, who they're working with, and how long they've been doing it. Look for common friends or business partners to help establish trust.
Understand how a trade works: When buying L2 services or items, test what you've requested first, then pay for it, and receive the product. For in-game item trades, it's best to request the items first, and then the buyer should provide proof that they have the money. Make sure you understand the trade process before proceeding.
Use a trusted middleman: Using a middleman is one of the safest ways to trade. For in-game items, it's usually easy to find a middleman. For L2 services, choose someone who is less interested in the L2 scene and has a good reputation. A trusted middleman can help ensure a fair trade.
Use voice chat: Talking to the person you're trading with can help establish trust. Voice chat is more personal and harder to fake. Consider using this option to build a better connection with the person you're trading with.
Beware of rushers: Scammers often try to rush trades, so be cautious if someone is trying to hurry you along. Take your time and don't let anyone pressure you into making a trade you're not comfortable with.
Trust your instincts: If someone seems suspicious or you have a bad feeling about a trade, don't proceed. There are plenty of other people you can trade with, and it's better to be safe than sorry.
