SWAPD is a trusted middleman service dedicated to offering our users the safest way to buy, sell, or trade items and services of virtual nature. SWAPD opens doors for you to earn and rise to fame in the digital universe by connecting you with vast network of buyers, sellers, and opportunities.
Lately, we’ve noticed a rough trend popping up on our platform. More and more, sellers are facing issues with buyers who either bail on payments entirely or drag them out until everyone’s patience is worn thin. It doesn’t matter who they are—VIPs, Partners, or buyers with impressive sales records—no one is off the hook when it comes to slow or skipped payments these days. And we’re not talking about non-payments from buyers who sold your service offsite and didn’t get paid; we’re talking about people purchasing stuff for their own needs.
Why Prepayment Matters More Than Ever
We’re recommending that sellers start every transaction with a prepayment ticket. We’re looking closely at how this trend goes over the next two months, and if it doesn’t start to improve, SWAPD might completely eliminate the “no-prepayment” option by the end of the year.
We know there’s been a bit of a shift in the market. Some buyers are catching onto the fact that sellers here often don’t require upfront payment, and unfortunately, they’re using SWAPD as a convenient last stop to get services without intending to pay. It’s putting our legit sellers at risk, and we’re all about protecting you from those sneaky exit scams.
Does It Matter Who the Buyer Is? Nope.
It’s tempting to think, “Oh, they’re VIP, or they’ve been around the block—they’re good for it.” But honestly? We’ve seen the opposite. Buyers who seem rock-solid can still throw up roadblocks when it’s time to pay. To avoid falling into this trap, let’s make prepayments the standard practice. If a buyer’s truly interested and serious, they won’t mind a little upfront trust-building.
If things don’t turn around, you can count on stricter guidelines coming into play soon. We will toss the no-prepayment option by the end of year if this trend continues.
Buyers don’t open a ticket if you can’t afford to pay for it, even if your client scams you!
It’s your responsibility to pay the ticket, not your client’s. I hope those who don’t pay their tickets on time improve their payment habits. As for me, the no-prepayment option has helped me build a lot, and I hope it stays available forever
My habits of paying tickets is always urgent i always do my best to pay inside 1-3 days
I agree, but sometimes there can be complications. However, it’s always urgent to pay the ticket. So, for me, my average payment time has been a few hours to three days, in rare cases. I’ve also had cases where my client left me with an empty pocket, didn’t pay me on time, or cheated me. But I still managed to pay the tickets. I even took dues from my best friends just to pay the ticket. For me, my reputation is more important than anything else. I work and still work for my face and reputation.
To all regular members reading this, status doesn’t always matter. People can change overnight.
I did a no pre-payment deal with a Diamond Club member who had over $100k in purchases, thinking it was safe. But they went ghost/scammed after I delivered.
This shows that even high-ranked members can fall victim. If you’re confident in your service, don’t let anyone pressure you into skipping prepayment.
Buyers can ask sellers to compensate, and we will force sellers to do so. However, this will be a no-issue next year once we’re in Canada (no CoinPayments)
Just dont understand than point of “diamond” … if nobody will trust us also ( i am low buyer ) but i also feel like diamonds have each days less reputation in terms of trust.
I understand about vip, he can buy for 10k and them scam for 10-20-30k…but still diamonds is diamonds…
Friendly reminder, DC/MC/no matter what status, ASK FOR PREPAYMENTS. Our latest victim (@hooper) lost 19000 USD for a non-payment by @Lord. We hope he will come to his senses and emails us, as I am sure @Hooper will not let this go lightly.
What happened? @Lord was upselling @Hooper’s services to his client off site. Hooper delivered, the client didn’t pay Lord. WE SEE THIS quite often, don’t do large sums without taking prepayments!
