I've re-created this thread so that I can add a poll, and because people didn't bother reading in the last one. If you were trading on a website, which system would you prefer?
This is a general trading question, and not related to Sythe.org.
Option #1
The "Craigslist" type of site, exactly what Sythe is. You can list things for sale and get people to contact you, but the site itself does not handle the money for the trade. They offer middlemen to help make it smooth, but there can still be charge backs and other problems.
Option #2
The "PlayerAuctions" type of site. You buy credits from the site for money, in a way that CAN NOT BE CHARGED BACK. These credits never lose value as they can always be cashed out from the site for the same price. You can never be charged back, but it limits your payment options to that site's credit system (which can be purchased using maybe Bitcoins or WU - NOTHING THAT CAN BE CHARGED BACK). However, the site keeps 2-3% of all tokens as a fee when you transfer them to other users and/or purchase items.
Thanks for your feedback on this general survey, again, not related to Sythe.org. It's just a question in general to determine user experience.
