A lot of people messaging me with security concern or they joined last month trying to offer services.
Is my money protected through SWAPD, and can i be scammed?

We have a 0.86% scam ratio, based on a 1200 per month transaction volume. So, the odds are in your favor. However, buying services can go wrong after the transaction is closed (username claims, for example). We only keep you safe during the transaction, but whatever happens after, is iffy territory. When buying from new members, it’s less likely that they will try to work with you when something goes wrong down the line.

so if im buying an restore access, and it doesn’t get unbanned i get refunded
100%. But after the transaction is closed, and if it gets banned, you are most likely our of luck, especially when dealing with new members. But even veterans won’t give you much warranty on restore access (maybe 7-days max) because no one can predict how social media networks will behave.

And you are only 100% protected during the transaction if you use our SWAPD checkout system. Dealing directly is not allowed.
thanks for the clarifcation also i know these services are banned on IG, is there a chance of creating more problems by sending username/banned screen if theres reps working here (just being paranoid as one of my pages wont even let me login anymore after sharing it privately to replies)
I cannot comment on that because that’s a lot of unknown “ifs”. Just go with trusted providers and you will have almost no chances of getting into trouble.
It’s honestly such a 50/50.
There are good people and there are bad people. Everyone basically has an agenda. But in most cases as long as you choose a good seller you should be fine.
I also don’t believe the accuracy of the scam rate
.86% scam but I lost 13k in January in one deal
Maybe a month later I go to take down some reviews and another 20k in transactions goes sideways. Lost a client for my agency.
Be careful of the sellers you purchase from. The data the staff has mentioned is arbitrary and irrelevant. It sucks and I no longer feel comfortable purchasing high tiers.
The whole situation left me feeling like there’s incentive for swapd to cover for sellers who have bad practices but sell in volume or high ticket items. They get a % regardless. if they revert transactions it messes up the qbr. Proceed with caution and read reviews extensively.

We can provide proof, if you like.
You lost it not by being scammed, but by trying to claim a risky @ handle, and you agreed to no post-transaction warranties. So, in short, the transaction went through fine. Problems started AFTER you took over.
We believe otherwise. We currently have only 5 disputes opened, here is a screenshot from our panel (without revealing too much):
Here is the current number of opened (live) transactions (SS taken from Checkout bot profile who manages all tickets):
So, if you work out the odds, you can calculate that dealing on SWAPD works GREATLY in your favor as far as risk goes.
We take offense to that. We constantly remove/demote/punish high volume sellers for breaking tos or going rogue. Just ask @TheSolomon. The guy had 50x live transactions recently and pushing big numbers, demoted for violating SWAPD rules.
Yes, you are right here. Be careful and do not agree to terms like no warranty that could get you in trouble post transaction, just like you did.
SWAPD rules are generally good. But I’m not the best example because I’m not a scammer. You demoted me because i tryed to ressel a 50% of one ticket service which i promised i will deliver and not because i scammed someone for money. (Example ticket was 6000$ and i angege someone for 2000$ to help me and finish half of my job instead of me on-site)
And i dont want to mention this
Or this
Despite that VERY BIG mistake
0 offsite communication
0 dollars in scams, so don’t mix me with people who cheated users.
100% payed all my bills, which was in ticket and determined with deadlines
I was demoted before two months almost I was the number 15 seller in the past 365 days. Now I’m number 8. That clearly shows whether I’m a scammer or not (or meybe additional shows owner decisions are not always right)
And next time when someone tell you they lost 13k because of someone who is HIGH end seller dont mention me like a example to justify someone, please be clear about what “our” problem was, because it can affect my reputation, i never scam nobody for 1$ . Thank you.
We didn’t call you a scammer, I was just trying to point how his point of view that we protect top sellers because they bring in most revenue.
Good.
Thanks for sharing this
Great 
Thanks for the update
