Face2Face Trade Safe

Hi,
I found a good gold buyer, but unfortunately he only does face2face trades.
I would like to share ur experience with face2face without getting anything in return.
Is it safe?

 

rebump... is it worth the risk of f2f, when I get paid 0.1$ more?

 

i try
F2F = Ban after 12h for seeling
Mail = Ban after 12h for selling
Guild = BAN after 12h for selling

i only sell with vanilla accounts... but get banned every week 1-2accounts after i trade 200k pay week per acc.

so, its only -5$

 

made it several times while trading large amounts to china traders... the account got banned few hours later. not suspended, just banned. i only use vanilla accounts for trades.

 

I trade abut 40k per week. Everything via face2face to my private buyers. Never encountered any problems...

 

Seems like it depends on the amount sold.
Also might be different on every server, but I think I will stay with guild bank trading and receive -0.1$

 

I have used f2f every single time selling around 50k gold in total and have never been banned. I find using like a level 2 and not a ORC a troll while trading another item with it may help I do not know though.

 

whats about with AH trade? Item for 10k+ outbid or so?!

 

don't use AH to sell gold, the more you post an item for, the larger the AH cut is, i was trying to get 8k from A --> H through neutral AH, and it only got like 6.something

 

I think guildbank is the safest.
Also write some communication with the person saying like:
Here thats for the guild you promised, tell me if u have news...

 

I'm nearly only trading f2f... and never got banned so far while trading ammounts from 5-80k...

so I think it's also depending to your luck...

 

Safest Way With F2F Is As Follows.
Tip 1: Use a legit looking char. (If Possable)
Tip 2: Always have a fake convo with them such as Gold Seller " Hey man, here is the cash i owe you ", Buyer: "Thanks man, lets jump on our mains and do some pvp now" (Or something along those lines)
Tip 3: Use private buyers always safer.
Tip 4: NEVER get people telling you saying "Do you have the money, i bought of you?" It puts both of ur chairs at risk. Apparently wow keeps logs up to 3 months old. Never mention anything against the rules. Same goes with your buyer.

If everyone follows those simple steps i belive you would see alot less bans.

Example: Wow sees 200k gold transfered = Flagged. First thing they will look at is the chat logg so make sure it all looks legit.

Taking photos of the transactions may also help defend ur cause if they say u sold gold. All you have to do is say fuck off i owed the cunt then show your evidence to prove your innocence.

 

+rep thanks for the hints

 

Ok these ARE good tips, im just wondering what u mean by using "legit" characters

 

Guild bank is the safest way.. I have sold over250k and never had a problem

 

best thing to do is to put all of your eggs in 1 basket and trade from a vanilla acct with a spoofed mac / ip address or have a friend do it

 

Use the AH for safe trades. Have posted this in an other thread.

 

what is the vannila account method? if i have 200k on my bot account i have to transfer those into my vannila account? but isn't that gona get both account flagged?

 

Same-faction auction houses take a 5% cut, while neutral houses take 25%.

 

I whould consider it the safest way though. But I might be wrong. The cut sucks though. : /
