IMPORTANT: How to check trader’s reputation and credibility?
by pseudonim
This is one of the most often dilemmas during the trading process. How to check is this trader credible or not and how to trust him? Well, we don’t have any strict pattern to recommend in scammer recognition process. However, the best one is to trade with caution any time. We wrote many articles about safe trading, and trading procedure, so I don’t want to repeat it again.
Anyways, I want to emphasize another issue we noticed some of members misused in the past (and got penalized for it of course). It’s the number of SOLD trades. Basically, a SOLD trade should mean successfully closed trade. Actually, this cannot be a measurement for traders credibility, so we annulled giving 1 CREDIT for trades with SOLD status, since some of members misused this to bump up their reputation.
Some of them used even multiple accounts to fake the trade itself thinking the SOLD trade will give them more credibility. Such FAKERS have been and will be banned permanently. Also traders who are misusing BIN (Buy It Now) button will get suspended and their trading accounts terminated. If you are a serious interested in buying items offered in the particular trade and you’re afraid these items/accounts will get sold, then you have to use BIN button in order to buy offered items immediately before someone else gets them. If you don’t have enough money to buy offered items for the BIN price, then DO NOT USE this action because it would be characterized as trade obstruction or sabotage and you’ll get banned for doing such stupid action.
Bottom line
The BIN bidder HAS TO BUY the items offered in the trade since he clicked on BIN which has to be used only in case the bidder wants to stop the bidding and buy the items immediately. In case the BIN bidder gives up, he should be reported and will get penalized permanently or by 90 days suspension, depending on severity of infringement. The BIN action is only dedicated for serious bidders, those who are really interested to buy offered items right away.
Also, the number of SOLD trades CANNOT be the measurement for a trustful trader and his reputation on RealPoor, so take care and trade with caution and PLEASE read all other articles related to trading and trading policies. In addition, don’t forget to check our general trading and registration terms to avoid any further “mistakes”.
