Fix the trade system

[DirtyMustachio]

Taysby, I just want to put this out here.

I've been trading ..... Let's say "heavily" on this forum with new and veteran traders for the better part of four years.

And I've only been ripped one time, on my very first trade.

Because I'm careful. Very careful. If people use the suggestions already in place you won't get ripped.

Non trusted traders and new people need to send tracking and send first.

High value trades need to use middle man service unless it's someone you absolutely trust.

If your so desperate for a card that you trade valuables with someone who seems like a good trader but turns out isn't. It's most likely your own fault.

Every other forum does trading the same way, this one is just easier because we have an instant entrance via the app.

Don't try to shortcut the shortcut. Because honestly I constantly try to think of more safe ways for everyone to trade also, I think I had a similar thread to this at one point as well. But as things stand it's not viable to bring people's finances on board.

However if you wanted to personally ask for their phone number beforehand, that may work.

How about just a database for a working phone number, and an address.  (That would be what it's shipped to). That way, you can for sure contact them, and the don't jump between addresses so you don't know where to send the cops if that problem occurs.  It's not the best solution, but it's something.

This is much more reasonable, I think you should speak to moderators about this, I think they already have something in the way of tracking addresses, if they wanted to add numbers and keep them confidential that is a new possibility for those who want to forthcome with them. Considering you have to have some sort of idevice with internet i would like to assume the most of us are using iPhones already meaning a large portion of traders do have numbers.

Some people are too young to have a credit card. Does that mean that people at my age couldn't trade? Haven't had a bad trade yet, and I'm like 15 deep. And I'm 13 (well, in 2 weeks)..

You speak well for being 12 years old!

Why thank you. Most people in real life think I'm 14-15, and on the internet, it's a range from 14-18.

I'm 13, however, I'm not 5 feet tall so most people call me 11 years old. >.>

I'm 5' 7", have the lowest voice in my school, and am built like a foot ball player. That helps...

So you are essentially my exact _opposite_, except in age.

[Jonahcutler749]

So let's do nothing and have 5 thefts/problems in the next year instead of doing something and only having one theft/problem in the next year?

Well that's a big assumption

Taysby. What do you think this would cost to implement? You cry that tcg taxes you too much so you don't want to use them. They have several trades to make money off of to pay for their overhead. How much do you think it would cost one person to charge to watch over trades.

Hey man good idea trying to make stuff better but is it worth spending thousands of dollars to save five bucks.
