================================================== ===================
RENEGADE METHOD
Selling:
Are you selling mills? Here's some things you should do everytime you sell.
- Have the person PM you from the site where u buying.
- Take screenshots of the MSN Convo & RS Convo EVERYTIME -- TEXT DOCUMENTS ARE WORTHLESS - REGARDLESS IF YOU'RE SCAMMED OR NOT!!!
- Most importantly, to avoid being paid with a stolen paypal, have the person who owns the email send you an email from their paypal email (this is a must)
- Also, I came up with a method, known as the 'Renegade method' - A few people have asked me if they could use it, so I'll explain it in more detail here.
- Only sell 3mill (maximum) to first time customers - Never sell over 3mill, next time, if 1st trade is sucessful, they can get more!
** Renegade Method: When i sell mills, i require the person have a note in the notes section when sending money. This note says they are satisfied, and got their product. (Of course, for less-known members, you may have a hard time using this, cause you're less-trusted) **
You have them put this, and anything else you want, and then have them send. Then you hold your end up, and give them the money.
BUYING:
- Let the seller of the site PM you
- Take screenshots, regardless of the outcome.
- Buy from a trusted user, even if it cost more. Would you rather have 2mills @ $20 from a trusted user, or 2 mills @ $15 from an untrusted user. Chances are, the low prices are there to lure you in and scam.
--- This is a basic guide, but it should help slightly, especially with the stolen paypal accounts.
================================================== ===================
XYPHER METHOD
Ok, this tutorial is rather short. But 100% Effective.
Buyer:
If your legit you wont have a problem doing this.
1) Make an Unverified Australian Paypal Account
2) Send Money From Your Account To The AUS Acc
3) Send The Money To The Seller
4) Once You Receive The Mills Go To Profile > Close Account
Seller:
1) Make your own AUS unverified account
2) Once received the money, send to your regular account
3) Close YOUR Aus account
4) Make sure the buyer does exactly that and make sure the account is closed and theres no way of chargeback etc. Unverified AUS accounts have a $1000 AUS sending limit.
Also to get the Australian Information, just google it..
DO NOT USE YOUR REAL NAME/PHONE NUMBER ECT ON AUS ACC
Use names like Sythe [Username] - or phony names
================================================== ==================
TIPS FROM PEOPLE
Alot of people have been scammed using PayPal in the past, and it continues to happen quite often.
Just recently Vic was scammed $120 i beleive because a [censored]head reversed payment on PayPal.
Now, you might be thinking some of the following:
1. Did they file/cancel?
You can still reverse a payment if you file/cancel. Im not sure how, but its been done.
2. Did they add a note to the payment?
PayPal doesn't seem to care if you add a note, many payments have been reversed even though a note was there.
3. Did you send PayPal an appeal to the reversal?
Most people do this but in many cases the money is still reversed. You can send PayPal MSN convos, screenshots, IP addresses, whatever you want and it doesnt seem to make a difference.
As you can see, PayPal is quite unreliable and has many flaws.... It is recommended (by many people) to use something like E-Gold as i dont beleive you can charge back with it.
So, using PayPal IS A RISK and for large trades should probably be avoided unless you REALLY trust the person you're dealing with.
If these constant reports of being scammed while using PayPal continue, PayPal might just be banned from the markets completely...
