[mypileofcash]

Start with small trades, and find a good businnes, eg. If you are goldfarming than sell gold, you must be creative at all.

How to become a trusted seller?

The simple answer is reputation.

You can have all the vouches in the world but if you have an appalling reputation it's not going to be nearly as enough as someone who has half your vouches but an impeccable reputation.

That being said vouches usually means good reputation.

Other things that contribute to reputation are ranks, including donor and mod ranks. Other contributing factors to a much lesser extent include, Join date and post count. If someone has 10,000 posts and 0 vouches, he is deemed more trustworthy that someone with 1 post and 0 vouches. Post count is a marginal contributer to reputation, and on Sythe you trade on someones vouches and reputation.

i think its just having alot of experiance trading, alot of posts on the boards, gaining trust.

While vouches/word of mouth are the most effective ways to become trusted, there are others. One very over-looked method of gaining trust is to be very helpful, mature, and on topic with your posts. When people see that you're treating others with respect and kindness, they will be more likely to trust you and treat you the same way.

Trust is hard to get !

Start by trading with TRUSTED people only (you will go first of course). Once you have a few vouches, people with be more willing to trust you.

i think its quality over quantity also*

Everyone wants to be "trusted" though the fact isn't if you want to be or not. It's kind of like a job in the army, navy, etc. You need to work your way up there, prove to everyone else and gain respect. Quanlity of the vouch (which is something the trader may or may not leave after a successful trade) is better than the quality you have. Sure, while you're selling something it's nice to have a tag "100+ vouches", but if someone actually looks through those and sees they're only for upgrades, it doesn't exactly show you're trusted.

Always be willing to use a MM as well.

1. Posts mean nothing. It just shows how much they spam D, not saying I do lol)
Viou has under 1k posts, and is highly trusted.
I have over 1k posts and not as trusted as him.
Posts mean nothing (They mean something, just nothing important to decide a trade outcome)
2. Quantity of vouches is not a good way to look at it. Look at the QUALITY of them.

OT, you need to start by doing small trades, and building your way up. Use OMM's if you must, do not be stupid. Do not scam.
In my GP selling, I have not gone first.. ONCE. (Was all mainly for 50m, 47.50$ trades.)

Highlighted for truth. Also check out my vouches for a crisp example of solid vouches: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?p=8009786

I would agree with the Vouch part. It's quality>quantity. But, I disagree with the post count. I do know it's very easy to just get your post count up and any newcomer can do that. But overall, if a person has a good amount of vouches and are well deserved and as bonus they have a high post count. It shows people that they are very active in the community and that they should be treated according to how trusted and active they've been.

i like how hes banned^ loool.

 

[ericrootbeer]

yea i really need vouches but nobody wants even my FREE services...

 

[Platypi]

have a lot of vouches, and early join date (like me )

Early join dates mean squat if you only have so little posts. Having an account from 2005 with 100 posts or less is basically having an account that you just made 5 years ago. Join dates are useless if you don't have the reputation to back it up.

 

[Bradenloll]

Yeah im trying to get my post count up as i want to buy some RSGP soon but no one will probs trust me with less then 50 Post count haha.

Joining today is what does it more than anything..

 

Every minor detail matters I believe, your join date.
Mostly its your image, and how you portray yourself.

This has everything to do with your avatar, signatures vouches and whatever minor detail that can help you build an image

Become active, do services for people, help people out and buy gp/services from people and go first.
Everyone has to start somewhere
