Scar Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) OK firstly I apologize if this is in the wrong section, if it is could a mod please move it to appropriate section. Admittedly I don't constantly search the accounts sub forum for accounts to buy. But when I see someone selling a good main/pure and asking for 07 gold in return it automatically sets off a red flag in my head. For example I'm sure I seen someone selling an account for 07 gold while claiming that was them quitting rs for good. I could go on and on about why not to buy an account created by someone else but I wont. Ok I'm being lazy now and going to post this thread, if you have any questions on particular account threads pm me this will remain private otherwise post on the thread. EDIT: Forgot to say this is just my opinion and all Im trying to do is make new people aware of the high risk of buying an account created by someone else. Edited May 12, 2015 by Nukem
dexterr Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 tl:dr this guy is saying if anyone is selling a good main or pure for rsgp it sets off a red flag in his head that its a scam. hope i cleared that up
Scar Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) ??? Pm me your Skype and I will explain if you are so confused. I wrote this while drunk makes perfect sense to me but I can understand if it doesn't for anyone else. tl:dr this guy is saying if anyone is selling a good main or pure for rsgp it sets off a red flag in his head that its a scam. hope i cleared that up Thanks for letting him/her know. I didn't explain it properly. What I'm getting at also is don't buy accounts they will be recovered. Edited May 12, 2015 by Nukem
Flamezzz Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Well even if someone quits rs they can still sell the gp for $ to prevent paypal chargebacks. There are always risks involved when you buy an account, even when the email is changed and you know previous passwords etc. For goldfarmers its balancing the cost vs how much can you make with this account p/h, can I make profit after just a few days? For people actually playing the game and buying an account, and intending to keep the accounts longer, there's even a higher risk. I rather create my accounts myself and use services

Not really sure how it is now but people used to only accept paypal gifts to try to prevent chargebacks. How does selling the gp prevent paypal chargebacks? Unless selling for some other form of web money. As stated above you can't charge back OSRS gold. Exactly if selling an account for Paypal you open yourself up to a charge back if the account is recovered with in 180 days were as if you accept rsgp no matter if you recover the account or not all you will receive is a ban on the forum.

I think you get some issues with paypal when you receive too many gifts The gp is usually sold to very trusted people, who have been in the business for a long time. Edited May 12, 2015 by Flamezzz

I have a good account ok lets get rsgp for it, sell rsgp to "very trusted seller" for paypal (no risk of chargeback). Recover account and repeat. There shouldn't be an account selling section.

Varc Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 It is primarily because people are either, done with that account and want gold to put into making another account or as stated above to prevent chargebacks.
Scar Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 There's a blacklist to prevent that. Apparently some people are willing to take the risks, let them Fair enough just thought I would try to warn people inexperienced in account buying. Obviously there is no way to place odds on how many purchased accounts actually get recovered but I would imagine it was very very high.
heptic Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 It goes both ways, ive sold accounts off site. I tend to make them pay via gp or skrill if they are not trusted. Too many chargebacks via paypal. To sum it up, it goes either way for the buyer or seller, paypal = buyer can scam, gp = seller can scam
SirVodka Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 i have a main account 71 att 70 str 73 def stats, how much is it avaliable price?
