    Hello Guys

    We're looking for a well-written Lowbie Market Guide that can help users who have no clue how the market operates, you also should include information about OMMs, vouches, and cite some rules that they need to know.

    Please Post your draft on this or PM me with it and the best will be tweaked if necessary by the staff lounge and then you can post it in the relevent section and I'll sticky it!

    Seize the chance to leave a lasting impression on sythe.

    The winner will also be awarded with the 'Competition Winner' rank!

    Thanks!

    Sythe Staff

    It will also be the go to guide for LiveHelp sessions so that when a person is asking about this, we direct them there. This is a big chance for you guys to have your words read by tons of people.

    Should this include information on each part of the market? For example accounts section, gold, upgrades etc?

    Make it as detailed as you want. We really just need a good guide for new people to use as a reference to cut down on the number of scams and make the site more open and easily used by new people as they are what makes Sythe continue to grow and remain strong as others leave.

    So just a guide which would be applicable to each market?

    Obviously writing a guide detailing everything from the runescape section to xbox market, non virtual items would take a fair amount of time.

    Just the market in general. Like Karl said, OMMs, pming before trading... Just whatever you think a newbie needs to know to use Sythe successfully and not get scammed. And how to report scammers and such if they do.

    How To Conduct Successful Trades On Sythe


    Introduction

    When trading in the 'Black Market' there is always the chance of being taken advantage of for you're lack of knowledge on how to conduct a successful trade on sythe, this takes a few times of being 'Played' or 'scammed' for you're hard earned money, for you to learn the things I am about to explain. I am hoping that this removes the learning experience of being 'played' or 'scammed' and all your trades are successful here on sythe.

    Conducting Safe and successful trades on Sythe.

    1. Always Make sure that you receive a Private Message from the person you are trading with, and if you feel something is a little 'fishy' ask for them to put something specific in the private message, to insure that you are not speaking to an 'imposter'.

    2. Always use an Official Middle Man or Free Middle Man in your trade, most of the people qualified for these services do not charge a fee, and make for most trades to be successful.

    3. Do not, under any circumstances use Team viewer, there are many scam reports using this program, and I can think of many other ways of verifying what they claim to need the use of team viewer for, simply suggest skype screen share, depending on what you are trading, Screen shots, or meeting the person with the goods in the game itself should be sufficient evidence in most cases to verify you own what you have claimed to. Alternatively use a Official Middle Man or Free Middle Man to complete the trade.

    4. Be cautious when you see someone buying an item or service for significantly more then market pricing, this person is usually if not 100%, trying to 'scam' you out of your money in the hype that you will get well paid, you might overlook some of the precautions that should be taken, don't let the money get to your head and take the steps necessary for a successful trade.

    5. When trading for accounts, such as World of Warcaft, Runescape, and even Xbox, be very cautious with who you trade with because most if not all accounts are 'recoverable' by the owners and if they have not deemed themselves trustworthy in the community I would not suggest buying an account from them. If you do buy an account always request the use of an Official Middle Man and ask to preform a recovery test, to verify the information they have provided is valid and you will be able to recover the account at any given point in time, also set your own information once you receive the account. Please take under consideration that even with taking all the precautions in the world, it is inevitable, accounts are always able to be recovered one way or another.

    6. I would advise you to not use Paypal with anyone that has not deemed themselves trusted amongst the community, there is a serious issue with charge backs and they are a pain to deal with, most of the time, even with valid proof you will be unsuccessful in disputing when it happens. If you decide to trade with someone not deemed trusted in your eyes using Paypal, make sure they have verified their Paypal account with their bank and/or credit card to insure they are held responsible for any fraudulent activity or dispute claims, make sure to have them confirm their Paypal email registered and name in the conversation and take proof with Video or screen shots no matter if the trade seems successful at first there is always the risk they will later charge back their money in the act to 'scam' you, keep it stored somewhere on your computer for a later date when it may be needed.

    7. Always take 'proof' of the trade, make sure to keep the msn conversation or whatever you are using for communication, open and take video of the trade if you can, if you are not able to simply take screen shots of the conversation after the trade has gone sour. If the trade is for Paypal, or something a long the lines where you might need the proof in the future to win a dispute claim, then take proof regardless of how the trade goes, and keep it in a folder for a later date, this has helped me a handful of times.

    Useful Tips & Information

    Before trading anyone on this site, to insure you are not dealing with someone that has been previously been banned on Sythe, and is now considered a ban evader please simply follow these simple steps.

    A) Open Google
    B) Type in the Msn you are speaking with
    C) Look through the top 10 links that come up related to sythe.org
    D) if you find that the msn has been posted on multiple accounts one of which that is banned, please do not trade them and report them with sufficient proof in the report a ban evader section that can be found below.

    @ Rang3d Maul

    I think you where going well with your guide, but then varied off in to explaining how to take valid proof, instead of then linking the sticky already created in the report a scammer section for how to make submit proper proof.

    So far I've seen a few decent posts, but none that I feel are worthy of the prize.. yet!

    Keep working on them guys, and I encourage you to work together with someone. The combined knowledge of a couple or even several market users will always be better than that of a single user.
