[Hitman1200]

Hello, I am new to markeedragon, and I am selling the following as you can see at this link.

http://www.markeedragon.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1192973

I would like to ask the community for suggestions on how to transact this type of trade without risking the safety of myself and my account. I am asking for USD via paypal in sale of the account.

Are there mediators around this site that hold money + account info, and swap it to each player as they recieve what is needed? Who usually is supposed to give first?

Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks!

It may also be noted that I intend to create a paypal account as soon as I find a buyer willing to purchase my account, as I do not have one, and do not own a bank account either.

Then you need to get a bank account.

Both people are putting a lot at risk here, so getting paypal verified is one of the few things you need to do to prove you're legit. I also suggest getting TrustWho verified, at http://www.trustwho.com . It will be a lot easier to sell.

Here are a few guides you can follow:

Just use your common sense. Always require a phone call, always take things slow. You're selling the account, you decide when things are going to be done and how it's going to be done. Always make people post in your thread before AIMing you. If the deal seems too good to be true, then chances are it is.

I'm sure there are some people who do middle man trades and will if you ask them. However, dealing with money is hard, and there are two main issues with selling:

1. The buyer can simply file a dispute and get his money back at any time.

2. The seller can simply recall his account at any time.

To help prevent this, always make sure you have the other person's information. You can use Kamitsuna's method to make sure the buyer can't get his money back, and the seller can ban/lock your account if you try and recall.

It's tough to sell, because it requires both you and the buyer to be completely trustworthy over an anonymous place.

If you need anything else feel free to hit me up on AIM. =) Goodluck!
