    Dangers Of Membership Reselling!

    There's a trend now with people reselling account upgrades. This means they buy them for a low price and then sell them at a higher price. There are several risks when doing this however.

    Once you've received the account upgrade information and paid for it there is nothing stopping the person you purchased it from using it themselves as they will still have a copy of the account upgrade information. This could leave you out of pocket as you've just been scammed and can lead to an awkward situation where you find a buyer of this upgrade and it doesn't work.

    Middlemen do not help in this situation either, they can only ensure safety at the time of the trade, there is nothing stopping the seller to use the upgrade for themselves once the trade has concluded.

    Along with this risk there is always the chance that if the code isn't from a game card that the original seller may charge back what he paid for the upgrade which would leave the person with it now in negative credit if it was applied to an account and could have you potentially banned for scamming.

    If you can't trust the person whom you are buying the account upgrade from enough to go first to them, then you can't trust them to not scam the upgrade.

    When re-selling bonds, if you're buying from other players remember you have to pay 10% of the market value again to make them tradable, so you've got an extra cost on top of your price you paid. If you're redeeming them on that account however, don't worry as you don't need to make them tradable to redeem them.
