How Does This Work? Quick Guide

  • A transaction is created between the buyer and seller.
  • The user with less feedback goes first.
    • If members have the same amount of feedback, other factors are taken into consideration and someone is selected to go first.
  • Both buyer and seller will submit payment information to the system.
  • The buyer either makes payment or the seller delivers the item depending on who was selected to go first.
  • The other party goes second to complete the trade or sale.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

How is this any safer than making a sale offsite directly between the buyer and seller?
During the process, the TG system will provide helpful instructions to help both buyer and seller have a safe and successful transaction. We will also check the buyer and seller's payment information to make sure it's not a previously known scammer or banned member.

Does this free service offer any guarantees?
No, we do not provide any safety guarantees. This is still a private sale between two members. However since some checks are being made, it's still safer than going offsite. We recommend opening a dispute against this member in our Dispute Forum if a problem does occur.

Inactive Transactions

If a transaction has been active for 24 hours the transaction will automatically be canceled.
