Questions about 2007-EOC trading

[Endeavour]

Hey,

Today I've joined this forum because I thought I'd have a good chance of trading some of my EOC money for 2007 money here safely. Just to make sure I'm going to do this right, I want to know a couple of things. I've tried the search button and I've read some basic guides, but just for this case I want to know a couple of things.
Things I want to know:
- Can I contact traders/middlemen with just hotmail and a PM on these forums? I do not have Skype, and I'm not really looking forward to getting it either.
- Can I trade middlemen in increments? I know I should be able to trust them but since I'm looking to trade 1.2B worth of EOC money I just want to take that extra safety measure. Better safe than sorry.
- How do I make sure my trader and middleman in-game (2007-servers and EOC-servers) are the same people as on these forums?
- Is there anything else I can do to avoid getting scammed after getting a middleman and trading in increments?

If I think of any other questions I'll add them.
Thanks in advance.

1.) Do you have MSN? MSN/Skype are used to communicate, but you could also just use PMs if you don't want to use MSN/Skype.
2.) Yes, I'm 99% sure a MM wouldn't deny doing the trade in increments.
3.) Ask the MM/trader for a forums PM including your conversation to confirm you're trading/talking to them, when trading you should always do this.
4.) Odds are you won't be scammed, make sure you're using a trusted MM, if you're that concerned try using an OMM.

Hope that answers all your questions, if you have any more questions, feel free to shoot me a PM.

 

PM's are very complicated when trying to do a trade with a middleman. But yes, MSN is fine - but I'd recommend getting Skype.

Increments is fine, but doing one trade would be a lot easier - use an OMM if you feel you can't properly trust regular MM's.

Before you trade, always request a PM with the Sythe users MSN/Skype etc. in it. You can always ask for their 07 usernames and EoC usernames too, just o be careful. Remember to record the trade with wither a video or screen shots in case it does go wrong.
