Creating Buying Threads on Behalf of Other People

There have been a few people who have created threads on the Buying sections, where they are conducting trades on behalf of another person. 99% of the time, these users are conducting trades on behalf of banned / non-registered Sythe users.

The majority of the time, these situations involve fraud. Someone who has stolen Paypals / Credit Cards pays commission to people who find them sellers. Usually, the people creating these threads on behalf of other users do not disclose that they are operating on behalf of another person.

The rules should be changed as follows:

- Running a service on behalf of a banned / unregistered Sythe user is a bannable offence
- Running a service on behalf of another Sythe user MUST be disclosed within the thread

This should allow mods to take immediate action against users who are operating these types of services.

 

thats the silliest shit i've ever read, half my trades i've done for friends who don't use sythe, as they deemed it safer for me to do it on their behalf as i know how the market works.


granted buying/selling for banned members shouldn't be allowed, doing it for someone who just doesn't want to register is silly.

let me clear some things, up, i do agree that doing it for banned members shouldn't be allowed, they are banned and should have no access to this site anymore.

If one is doing the trade on behalf of someone and is doing it themselves, i.e. handing the money over etc i don't see what is wrong with that, or even for that matter of just finding a friend a buyer, it more or less falls on the lines of the person middlemaning the trade. now if your friend chargesback etc of course you should be banned, but completely stripping people of the right to buy for friends is rubbish.


Correct me if i'm wrong and misread this , had a long day of jury duty, and seen a women die in a wreck this morning on the way there.

 

PM me some examples if you don want to share them here, thanks

 

It's one thing to post/trade on behalf of an unregistered user who may happen to be a friend. In some cases it's easier that way.

Posting/trading on behalf of a Banned user however, is strictly forbidden. They're Banned for a reason, and circumventing that ban via a user proxy will not be tolerated.

 

No support, I got IRL friends who wanted me to MM some trades for them, sell their accounts etc. All on my responsibility, so I dont see problem with advertising myself their sales which happens like 2-3 times / year anyways.

 

I completely agree that no one should be buying or selling on behalf of a banned member.

As far as buying for a legitimate friend i'm sure there's a good number of people who have friends in game that don't know about sythe, and use this factor to buy gold for them and make a bit of profit off it along the way. I think legitimate buyers who aren't buying for a user that is banned should be allowed.

Besides if they never mentioned they weren't buying the gold for themselves how would anyone know?

 

If you want to buy on behalf of your friend, you should use your Paypal to make the transaction. If they are using their own Paypal, you should be disclosing that in the thread.

As to Zuzel, if you are selling a friend's account but accepting responsibility, why not just disclose that?

The problem with only disallowing people from posting on behalf of banned members: it's incredibly difficult to prove that they knew the user was banned. Unless they explicitly tell you they have a banned Sythe account, you are in the clear.

 

I think that they should be open and honest about that they are working for someone else.

 

Was this changed recently? I thought that posting for banned users was allowed if people were honest about it in the OP & took responsibility for whatever it was. I remember some situation like this with an account sale and some high-profile user, maybe it was Tux.

Either way if they're lying in their OP, they're getting punished

 

I recall something. I'm not sure what came of it. But regardless I don't think it's a problem as long as they are open and honest.

 

There's no real way to tell whether or not the OP is doing it for their friend IRL or someone who is a vader.

Not really much can be done because there will probably be a massive amount of false reports, so I'm going to have to say no support on this.

 

Pretty much there is the answer right there. That is the only reasonable solution imo.

 

This is the way I'd like to see it as well, basically just be honest in the OP. If they're caught lying, a TWC or Ban will be placed on them, simple as that.

 

Ditto

 

Doesn't need changing, A friend of mine recently needed Rs GP.

He knows i'm trusted on Sythe and asks me to arrange for him, I have no issues doing this, I would of been 100% responsible if something occured on his part.

He could of made his own account, but then users would be expecting him to go first and provide insane amounts of info etc which he wasn't comfortable with.

These threads are fine as long as OP takes repsonsibility for anything that occurs.

 

K what I said above is the way it is
