How do they do it?

[Cumulo Vapus]

I was checking out some of these folks' ads online….must be the most stressful job ever.

How can you ever know for sure that you aren't being set up in a sting? If I message a seller, how do they know Im a legit buyer and not from the killjoy brigade?

Feel a bit sorry for these guys now…was looking at a tank i wanted and the markup was only $15 over what it normally goes for.

mods: if this is inappropriate, please delete.

Verified members have undergo some check by big mod here.

As a buyer double security, I won't use real name when buying anything.
Shipping address will be my non vaping/smoking buddy with agreed compensation for receiving package for me.

As a seller, register a paypal USA account to receive payment.

I was actually wondering about the folks who sell their wares thru the social media channels outside this forum.

But good points on buying and selling here….the thing is, to get verified status, your paypal address must be the same as the address you used to register on this forum. And 99% of Paypal addresses use real names. The minute you send a payment, the buyer would know your name, I guess.

the markup is never only 15, try being a trader in games and you will learn alot

This was a tank that sells for 35 bucks....it was being offered for 50.

Are we overthinking this?
