How To Conduct Successful Trades On Sythe

How To Conduct Successful Trades On Sythe

Introduction
When trading in the 'Black Market' there is always the chance of being taken advantage of for you're lack of knowledge on how to conduct a successful trade on sythe, this takes a few times of being 'Played' or 'scammed' for you're hard earned money, for you to learn the things I am about to explain. I am hoping that this removes the learning experience of being 'played' or 'scammed' and all your trades are successful here on sythe.

The Basics
Always Make sure that you receive a Private Message from the person you are trading with, and if you feel something is a little 'fishy' ask for them to put something specific in the private message, to insure that you are not speaking to an 'imposter'.

Always remember that Official Middle Men or Free Middle Men are always an option to have in your trade, most of the people qualified for these services do not charge a fee, and make for most trades to be successful.

Avoid Teamviewer
Do not, under any circumstances use Team viewer, there are many scam reports using this program, and I can think of many other ways of verifying what they claim to need the use of team viewer for, simply suggest skype screen share, depending on what you are trading, Screen shots, or meeting the person with the goods in the game itself should be sufficient evidence in most cases to verify you own what you have claimed to. Alternatively use a Official Middle Man or Free Middle Man to complete the trade.

To good to be true? Good call, cause it is.
Be cautious when you see someone buying an item or service for significantly more then market pricing, this person is usually if not 100%, trying to 'scam' you out of your money in the hype that you will get well paid, you might overlook some of the precautions that should be taken, don't let the money get to your head and take the steps necessary for a successful trade.

Account Trading
When trading for accounts, such as World of Warcaft, Runescape, and even Xbox, be very cautious with who you trade with because most if not all accounts are 'recoverable' by the owners and if they have not deemed themselves trustworthy in the community I would not suggest buying an account from them. If you do buy an account always request the use of an Official Middle Man and ask to preform a recovery test, to verify the information they have provided is valid and you will be able to recover the account at any given point in time, also set your own information once you receive the account. Please take under consideration that even with taking all the precautions in the world, it is inevitable, accounts are always able to be recovered one way or another.

Paypal trades
I would advise you to not use Paypal with anyone that has not deemed themselves trusted amongst the community, there is a serious issue with charge backs and they are a pain to deal with, most of the time, even with valid proof you will be unsuccessful in disputing when it happens. If you decide to trade with someone not deemed trusted in your eyes using Paypal, make sure they have verified their Paypal account with their bank and/or credit card to insure they are held responsible for any fraudulent activity or dispute claims, make sure to have them confirm their Paypal email registered and name in the conversation and take proof with Video or screen shots no matter if the trade seems successful at first there is always the risk they will later charge back their money in the act to 'scam' you, keep it stored somewhere on your computer for a later date when it may be needed.

Always take 'proof' of the trade, make sure to keep the msn conversation or whatever you are using for communication, open and take video of the trade if you can, if you are not able to simply take screen shots of the conversation after the trade has gone sour. If the trade is for Paypal, or something a long the lines where you might need the proof in the future to win a dispute claim, then take proof regardless of how the trade goes, and keep it in a folder for a later date, this has helped me a handful of times.

Useful Tips & Information
Before trading anyone on this site, to insure you are not dealing with someone that has been previously been banned on Sythe, and is now considered a ban evader please simply follow these simple steps.

A) Open Google
B) Type in the Msn you are speaking with
C) Look through the top 10 links that come up related to sythe.org
D) if you find that the msn has been posted on multiple accounts one of which that is banned, please do not trade them and report them with sufficient proof in the report a ban evader section that can be found below.

Nice guide man! Very detailed and I suspect this will be of great help to alot of new traders on the site. I like how you included links to all the important parts of the forums

 

Thank you very much man

 

Very good start to a guide. I like that you made sections stand out but there are very few of them and they are content dense. The more you put into blocks of text, the less likely the person is to read it. Going into depth but by using many bullets and subsections will allow you to add length without making it a wall of text. I think this is a good start but could be much better.

 

Wait so are you saying that if you DON'T have your PayPal registered with a credit card or whatever that you CAN'T do any trades?

For example I have a PayPal account but I registered it without using a Bank Card or whatever. I can still put money on it through stores and purchase things such as RuneScape membership but I'm insure if it's the same process here on Sythe.

 

I am saying, that if you do not have your paypal registered to a bank account or credit card, you are able to spend the money as you get it and if someone is to charge back, you are not held accountable for the charge back, you can simply not log in to the paypal ever again and walk away free of consequence, so for people selling to people via PP, always make sure they have verified their paypal account with their bank account & or credit card so they are held accountable for any fraudulent activity or dispute claims.

 

Duly noted, I will give it a shot tomorrow in cadencing the information in to simple sections of bullet points, Thanks SuF

 

Man, this is a hard one, I don't know how to make it in to bullets and subsections without completely re writing it, and I also like giving explanations of why each bullet is true and I can't do that with bullets, going to give it serious shot though.

Gonna be a long night

 

Gotten started will edit and complete tomorrow.
