Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong section but im a little concerned.

I have a 46 mil sp eve character that I have been wanting to sell for a long time however the horror stories i keep reading about paypal and being scammed have seriously put me off.

A friend told me of realpoor but I was wondering how safe is it to trade accounts on here?

I need the money for personal reasons, not because I want to just make a buck, I have been playing the game since beta and have always loved it but alas I must sell the character to give me some income.

Any advice would be very welcome.

About people doing chargebacks and stuff. Also if its a virtual item how can I be covered by paypal in the event something goes wrong?

I've heard you can't really protect your self from chargebacks. You can take steps to protect yourself though. There was an article on it somewhere on this forum but can't find it now. Remember some parts though:

- Get buyers phone # and call them to validate its real
- Get buyer to add a message to the payment like "Thanks for the work on my website" to make it look like something other then an account sale

There were more tips but I can't remember them.

i've heard some horror stories as well but so far the only scammers im seeing are a few people trying to sell bogus eve accounts. the people getting scammed are the buyers in realpoor.com so go ahead mate. sell it on here, just use preventative measures. maybe dont go thru paypal or go thru a neutral agent thats trusted. i too am selling my eve character because i dont have time to play anymore i really need the cash, and this si the best site i've found so far with good peeps on it. ^5 to realpoor Smile
