LeBron Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Let's say I'm buying an account from someone, as you all know, ACCOUNTS ARE ALWAYS RECOVERABLE. Even more than Paypal is. Me: I'll buy your account, how much PP? Seller: Nah, only 07. Me: Why? Seller: Chargebacks Me: Well, you can recover your account, seems only fair that I'll be able to get my money back, should you choose to do so. And if you do that, I'll still be the loser in this seeing as I've trained your account and put gold on it. Seller: No, paypal <insert stupid excuce, debt, unverified, problems with PP> Me: I'll find a MM with 300+ FB who'll send you PP. Seller: No, just 07, you go first. Seriously? To me this sounds like the biggest scam there is, best case scenario I'd get the account for a day or two, worst case, I won't get get to log in. This is such an obvious scam and should be dealt with, I believe it's called being ahead of the criminals and preventing crime before it takes place. What you guys think?

Oliver Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 1.) no middle man will trade paypal? 2.) why should he accept pp if he simply wants 07 gp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dex Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It's either very fishy or he's just being very cautious. I can imagine some people prefer 07 gold over PayPal as PP is not always ideal to deal with when it comes to unverified accounts and transactions being on hold.

Nick Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Everyone has their own methods & precautions to take when trading. Although it does seem suspicious, you can't go ahead and assume he's a scammer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBron Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 1.) no middle man will trade paypal? 2.) why should he accept pp if he simply wants 07 gp? Well, he also wants to sell an account. I don't know about you, but if I was selling my ORIGINAL account, I'd accept PP, if the guy would chargeback, I'd simply recover my account. Since he'll get the account with no stuff on it, worst case scenario, my account has trained a few levels and maybe even has some stuff/gold on it. Matter of fact, I'd PRAY he chargebacked, I'd make money out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i would buy the acc i would pay via paypal or GP this depends of the price of the account, who he is and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBron Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 If I did go first in a case like this and the account gets recovered, would the guy be banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proximity Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 If you are uncomfortable with someone's trade conditions, don't do it. Let them know, and if they still insist on doing it that way, don't do it. No one is making you trade lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliot Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 If I was selling an account, I'd accept 07 only and would not go first. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the situation and circumstances, I'd say yes. (So long as he's original owner or has proof he bought it from someone else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBron Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) If I sell you an account and don't accept PP from you and only 07, would you say I deserve TWC? I'd happily give you 07 gold with your 890+ feedback. Edited May 14, 2014 by LeBron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoomScape Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'd happily give you 07 gold with your 890+ feedback. Then after the account gets recovered and you come complaining to me then I say I bought it off someone else. Feedback isn't everything and I wouldn't recommend trusting someone purely off their feedback count. It doesn't amount to trust, just how many trades someone has complated.

I wouldn't buy an account from anyone if they aren't original owner. And I highly doubt you'd give up your nearly 900 FB and $100 donation for a $100 profit.
