Hi, I'm just wondering the reasons for why I was banned earlier today. I'm pretty sure it stems from this thread: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1144842&page=2
Punkerpunk13 just got on my nerves and I defended myself from his claims that I was a scammer. On the "Report a Scammer" forum, I briefly remember his 3 posts he made about me (don't know exactly, since the thread is gone now).
1. He claims that I'm a scammer because I offer pretty high buying prices with Paypal, stating that I could easily buy off trusted sellers for less, and that I could use PlayerAuctions as well. To answer this, I told him that the limitations on my payment methods are due to my location. I go to university in the US, so I have a US bank account/Credit card that I pay the majority of my funds with. However, I currently reside in South Korea for the summer (check my IP address.) Because of this, PlayerAuctions isn't available to me (Iv'e created an account, tried buying, and contacted live support). All Iv'e been offered is either Moneybookers or Neteller, both companies that I have tried signing up for, but cannot add funds/connect my US account with because I live in South Korea right now. (The only way that these methods MIGHT work, is if I had a Korean bank account that I could hook it up with, but only my parents know the details and information to that, and they wouldn't allow me to "risk" my international account on money transfer companies.) Punker also stated that PA is a Korean company so I should not have any problems with that, but ironically PA is not supported in South Korea, which I was apalled when asking their live support. SO PA was out of the option.
Another popular option was Western Union. After some searching, I was able to find several Western Union providers in Seoul, although a bit far (1 hour travel time by public transportation), and I gave an earlier thread asking how WU works, in order to understand the method more. I decided that this would be an easier way to trade online and much safer as well. However, upon more research, the only WU providers near me operate usually from 11am-4pm on average, and because I currently intern on the weekdays from 9am-6pm, with 1 hour lunch breaks, it is almost impossible for me to use WU effectively, especially with the time zone differences between most buyers/sellers in the UK/US. Thats why I stated that I could only use WU during the weekends, more specifically Saturday, when I have the convenience of actually being able to visit WU providers and send the money. WU is an option for me, but it is quite limited, but I also wanted to let others know that this IS an option if they wanted to wait till Saturday.
This leads to my only main method of money transfer to Paypal. At first, my Paypal was funded by my Bank account/CC. After learning about chargebacks, I decided to only allow money transfer through Paypal balance and bank funding if needed to limit the risk. Bank transfer into PP took almost a week but with that balance, I have successfully bought over 2k$ worth of RSGP/items, and have created a healthy relationship with most of my buyers. I know that Paypal is a risky business, and therefore I offer higher prices knowing that I wont be able to get the usual .5/M with PP. Who would sell me bulk GP at .5/M via PP, when more trusted users buy at the same price via WU/PA? I have a disadvantage because of my location, and my higher prices are there to make up for that.
2. He claims that I'm consistently lying about my "internship/job", stating that I'm usually online for several times during the day. First off, time difference is HUGE. I'm not sure where he lives, but to the majority of users, when its the afternoon for you, it's the wee early morning hours for me, time after my hours at work are over. And I admit, I do go on sythe at work sometimes. Why? Because interning, especially at a younger age, is VERY BORING. You don't get much work to do besides basically being the bosses' bitch lol, and when you do have work, it's usually Excel spreadsheets, or translating (for me, since I work at an international company). Therefore, I have a lot of freetime that I spend on my computer either watching the NBA finals game in the morning, Facebooking, or browsing Sythe looking for potential sellers on my threads. And because (as stated earlier), it's hard for me to find many legit sellers, I spend the time at work to PM and post them, making sure that I will be able to contact them via MSN/Skype whenevr I get off of work in a few hours.
3. I'm not sure what his 3rd claim was to be honest, so I'll just close up my statement here. I am not a scammer. Because of my disadvantage with PP being my main use of payment, and being a newcomer (active member now), I had to create some type of method in order to get into the business, which for me was raising prices and providing good service. In my vouch thread, most of my transactions involve me going first. Yes, it was hard getting into the business but I feel like I have developed enough trust to be a good buyer and potential seller in the future. This ban was a very abrupt thing for me. Punker is a trusted sythe user,I know that for sure, however I feel as if his claims against me were for more personal reasons (stating that I liked to re-create threads before accusing me of scamming), and not truly on that I was a scammer. I have never scammed anyone through Paypal so far, and I pride myself on my dignity and trustworthyness on such a payment method. Yes, I have gotten scammed 2 times, which sucked. I even posted on the "Report a Scammer" forum reporting one (Heaven's Hero if I recall correctly). I'm still new to sythe and if I did anytihng wrong, I would like to know what so I can correct my self in the future, but I know for a fact that this ban is unjustified, and hope to have it lifted.
A long post, but I hope that you guys really consider this.
Thanks,
