Getting credibility on NA

Hey all,



I was wondering how you can get your credibility up on this forum. I am used to selling my stuff on a dutch auction site where your reliability is kind of measured in years you're an active buyer/seller active on the site. If you screw someone (or if the site gets complaints about you), potential buyers will get a warning email or you get blocked/deleted. So if you're a long-term seller for 7,5 years (like my account), that usually means you're a reliable party.

On this forum I've seen some scores behind usernames and figured you get those from selling/buying on this site. To what extend are these scores reliable?

For me as a new seller/buyer, what can you do to make sure people know that you're not a fraud? Are there things like uploading your ID/bankaccountnumber/etc? I just want to make sure, now I'm selling an item here (and planning to sell and buy more!), that people know I'm no fraud and I would love to hear your tips!



(apologies if there's a topic explaining my question, couldn't find it through the search function!)

  • You could post link to ebay account or somethin similar showing positive feedback or buy some things in the FS thread and get some feedback built up here.

    Also, you can click user names and read people's feedback. It's pretty legit. Most people here are honest, good people to deal with.
  • DON'T upload you bank account number. A lot of great folks here but that's a bad idea.



    Stick around and build a reputation. You could also link your transactions and feedback from other site in your FS thread.

    Start off small items for sale or do some deals with higher rep people, don't be a dildo, and um, yeah, just let people get to know you really.



    (If any site other than major outlets like Paypal or eBay, never give your ID, bank info, or any other personal identifiable information to anyone on the net, and even with the major outlets, hold back anything you can that won't affect your purchases there - unsure if you were serious about that or just saying it in jest, but felt that even if you were joking, it's never a bad idea to remind people these days )

    That's the deal, I don't have an eBay account because I've never sold anything on eBay. I could post a link to my dutch auctionsite account though

    Whoops, I started with one of my more precious items. I'll upload some of the more common items soon to build up some credit! Very good tip, thanks LOL on the dildo comment XD



    I'm not a big fan of paypal since they have the right to keep the money for three weeks. A friend of mine sold a pretty expensive item via eBay (using paypal), and the buyer claimed that he didn't receive the item. So my friend lost the item and never received any money.

    hahahaha oh man, I needed a good laugh

     
  • Don't try too hard, people that try too hard are usually ones that set off red flags (or can be annoying). Start small, buy from reputable people and be a good guy.

    Damn.. Im out :/

     
  • I have not had one bad experience on NA. Feedback is legit. Like always, inform yourself before making a purchase... ask questions if you have any...



    If you want to sell, provide some feedback if possible from other sites. If not, then maybe you the buyer would want to receive an item first and then pay, as a starting block of sorts.



    Never, ever, here nor anywhere else be a jerk.



    Other than that, you should be good!
  • Question, are you or aren't you ever referred to as a Cornball Cocksucker?

    I still fap to those, btw. It's better that Costanza's photo shoot with Kramer
  • Avail yourself of each and every issue of the NintendoAge Ezine.

    Find out what a Purple Gannon is.

    Send a picture of your unmentionables to a mod or administrator.

    Read the Joel thread in it's entirety.

    Profit.
  • This thread is amusing
  • Praise Joel. He will show you the way.



    Find the Purple Gannon on a CRT TV with yourself doing a handstand in the shot.

    I do too but I really need to but out the selfie stick and do another shoot. My manscaping sklls are way better than they used to be. 


  • Uhm.... buying and selling stuff usually helps to gain credibility buying and selling stuff.



    The true initiation is when we all put on black hooded robes and fap to a Fire'N'Ice cartridge.
