Okay here's the [censored] deal.

Ive been scammed on these forums over the two same accounts 4 times each. It's a [censored] joke, I trusted all these people after they gave me stories and background, linked me to their rep and positive feedback on the forums, and they all [censored] me over, one by one. Ive recalled the accounts every single time.

The conversation with a scammer usually goes:
Me - Right the payments through and ive given you details - anything else you need?
Scammer - Nah thx thts cool lol.
Me - Please stay online for a few minutes.
Scammer - k

30 seconds later - "Scammer has gone offline"

"You have recieved an email from Paypal.com - Payment has been held"

[censored] over.
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME
Guys I really need help with this... its getting to beyond a joke, all of my mates have no problem with their trades. What other payment methods are there apart from paypal? Please tell me there is some. Or what sites are better and more secure than this one? Because it seems pretty dire so far.
Thanks

Other payment method: Western Union

By far the "safest" way to ensure that there will be no chargeback or holds.

As far as you getting scammed by others, the best advice I can give you is to deal with TWV members, with significant rep (don't deal with anyone with just 1 positive, or 1-2 posts on their rep page), and that have been around for a while. Don't deal with those that registered recently. By doing this, I guarantee that you will reduce the risk of being scammed greatly.
