    TeamView scams....

    If a buyer/seller says "Hey, can i see the (item/s) on teamviewer mate?"

    I'd pretty much like everyone of you guys to say no, because there is too many adjustable things on Teamviewer, and it makes it easy to the buyer/seller, to infect you, or block your mouse/keyboard.

    Just say, go to www.skype.com and download it, then Share screen.
    There is nothing adjustable on Skype, that can block or even infect you. It's much safer that way, just sayin!

    I can add pictures if anyone needs, or finds this hard to read.

    There's already stickies in the Market sections warning people about people using Teamviewer for trades. Skype share screen is safer seeing as there's no way to control the other's computer through it.

    If I'm not mistaken, I think you can adjust the settings in teamviewer to restrict the access of the person who will be viewing your screen. But, yeah, Skype is probably safer.

    There is no need really to show your screen, if they don't trust you just use a trusted MM or a OMM to be on the safe side, but as those two guys said you can do a screen share in Skype.

    Write a guide and post it in the guides section, if you want. This isn't the place for guides.
