@mojifemi

Like I said this India also has this problem same as Nigeria , will you also remove indians ?

Top sellers here on Swapd are from India,Pakistan and us
Removing Indians means dropping Swapd revenues by almost 50-60%

[drandonuts]

I think one issue is in PR services especially. A ton of people just reselling the exact same source (that many of us likely have anyway). It fills up the new threads with the same stuff from the exact same seller effectively

@stapelton

I hope they remove that tag after I make a few more

You can PM administrators to apply to have it removed after successfully completing 1k in total transactions as a buyer or subcontractor.

@enoz

I agree with this 100% - as a buyer, there shouldn’t be anything preventing us from seeing feedback left by previous buyers.

What reason would a subcontractor have for putting their profile on private, other then trying to prevent potential buyers from seeing negative feedback left by a previous buyer? Feedback from buyers/sellers should always remain transparent.

We will take this into consideration.

@enoz

Why limit it to $5k? Why aren’t sellers responsible for paying transactions fees on all failed transactions? This is the cause for me requesting no prepayment when opening tickets. Not because I haven’t secured my clients money first, but because I don’t feel I should be responsible to pay transactions fees on a failed transaction.

@Alpha

As a buyer, you can negotiate with the seller to have them cover the fee in case of ticket failure. If included in the terms, we will enforce that regardless of the ticket amount.

@SocialMediaKing

Why allow at all, what’s the value to the end user?

Unless I’m missing something, it seems like it slows the transaction down and increases costs

It’s just a little perk. Thus far it has not caused any issues. We wouldn’t say it particularly slows the transaction down, nor does it increase costs on our end by any means. In addition, it happens pretty rarely. Most top subcontractors have their own methods/contacts and are not reselling other SWAPD users - it happens every now and then but is not as perpetual/constant as you may think.

@SocialMediaKing

It’s gotta be too hard to manage.

doing it for a $200 transaction would mean asking seller for $10. Just seems like too much to manage

This is exactly why. In fact, for a $200 transaction it would be $2 as the refund fee is 1%. We have no interest in dealing with users fussing over a mere few dollars. SWAPD is a premium high-value marketplace geared towards larger transactions, hence our minimum fee.

@mate

but it would be great if you could link ticket outcomes to sellers listings and add a success rate % on each swapd listing

Although this sounds great on paper, it would be 100% impossible to implement. Subcontractors can very easily create a new listing as soon as their success rate was to drop. It wouldn’t work. The general success ratio on a user’s profile is already quite telling of how reliable a subcontractor may be.

@drandonuts

I think one issue is in PR services especially. A ton of people just reselling the exact same source (that many of us likely have anyway). It fills up the new threads with the same stuff from the exact same seller effectively

Our subscription based listing fee would ideally eliminate this, as resellers who cannot deliver, cannot close, or do not have healthy enough margins, would no longer be making new listings.

[Ayesha]

Hi,dear admin ,I would like to propose that even the accounts (social media listings ) need to be verified before posting,I recently complained some sellers here posting some of the listings they do not even have access to and this creates a spam ,Please consider this.Thank you!

@SWAPD

1. Sellers who cannot deliver

This is one of the biggest reasons buyers stop coming back. A buyer gets burned once or twice and suddenly SWAPD becomes “just another risky marketplace” in their eyes.

@SWAPD I’ve suggested this lots of times before, but maybe now is the time to show a % success rate (on recent transactions, say the last month) on a seller’s profile in each of the categories a seller is selling in. eg: if a seller is selling instagram unban services, on their ad there will be a prominent label showing how successful that seller has been in that category (instagram unbans).

That way, buyers will know who has been successful in a category lately and be more inclined to go with them instead of wasting time on a cheaper seller, then getting burned/wasting time and leaving the site.

Saw you did the calculation for @Rayman in a recent post (see here @Rayman Is Quietly Becoming an Instagram Unban Machine on SWAPD - #11 by Rayman), so it would be good to automate this calculation and put it on all seller’s profiles.

[Rayman]

@playspy

so it would be good to automate this calculation and put it on all seller’s profiles.

It is already there on everybody’s profile or just sellers. Just tap the profile icon once, and it will open the user profile card.

You can see the subcontractor ratio, even for buyers like yourself, my good sir.

[p]

we should remove all users from Poland, i feel like theyre always scamming

[playspy]

This is a seller’s overall success rate. I would like to see the success rate of a seller for a particular service they are offering. So if they are offering an instagram unban service, I want to see the % success rate for that seller for that category.

[SocialMediaKing]

@playspy

show a % success rate (on recent transactions, say the last month) on a seller’s profile in each of the categories a seller is selling in. eg: if a seller is selling instagram unban services, on their ad there will be a prominent label showing how successful that seller has been in that category (instagram unbans).

Possible way to do this while keeping into consideration @alpha’s earlier points is a # of tickets completed successfully related to a thread

3/10 or 10/15 etc. Whatever the number is

Then if someone wants to make a new thread, fine, but it has no history and is riskier.

[mehedi_ru]

Why are MC members and partners allowed to do that tho? That doesn’t really benefit the platform in any meaningful way beyond simply cannibalizing sales from smaller but reliable sellers in lieu of the MC/partners up charging the same group of buyers 200,300% more than what the original service actually costs to render. Should also be prohibited imo.

Easier said than done. Remember, we are a forum, this whole website was built around a code related to discussions. Every extensive upgrade costs XXXX-XX XXX USD.

Brother, Atleast, you’re getting an overall success ratio. Other platforms specially, Telegram for example, don’t even have a proper feedback system.

Sellers claim they can do the service 100% and then say sorry.
You lose MM fees (Swapd doesn’t charge their fees for a failed ticket except for 1% payment processing fees) and, they also get to vouch the MM in their vouch channels, making them look more legit for other/new buyers that they might’ve done a deal.
Furthermore, When a deal goes south or doesn’t work, they simply say “sorry” and you can’t post about the deal and your feedback anywhere.

While on Swapd, you get to send Negative feedback to the seller based on your individual experience.

[PabloEscobar]

I fully support these changes. It’s a time for adjustment. I support all changes that are for our own good; we need to keep our home safe.

[zoprat2]

Went through several transactions for IG unbans and none went through even with extensions!

[Sleepyd]

I totally agree with @mojifemi on this. Although I’ve only sold two accounts on here so far, the messaging and replying could sometimes be a pain as I could not locate the original chat or message through the inbox. If there is a process or filter I’m missing, either way I think it should be more apperent because it was slightly frustrating during the selling process.

[SWAPD]

NEW CHANGE THAT WILL INSTANTLY HELP, ROLLED OUT JUST NOW!

Starting today, SWAPD is no longer open to join instantly

[Scam Alert: Beware of Fakes and Scammers] Due to the increasing number of scammers joining only to immediately DM hundreds of users with their Telegram before getting banned, all new registrations will now require manual approval by staff. As part of our “back to the old days” initiative, every signup will be individually reviewed before access is granted. This means signups will go from instant to taking roughly 12 to 24 hours, but the result will be a significantly cleaner and safer commu…

[Reno1]

Subcontractors could deposit 30% of their service price. After one or two tickets are successfully completed, they may be allowed to request a withdrawal. Alternatively, if they choose to remove their listing, they could also request a withdrawal, though this would need to be approved after a while.

[enoz]

@SocialMediaKing

It’s gotta be too hard to manage.

doing it for a $200 transaction would mean asking seller for $10. Just seems like too much to manage

Most transactions are way above $200, but even in the event they were small transactions.. multiple failed transactions add up after a period of time.

And realistically, SWAPD loses out on transaction fees every time a transaction is no prepayment, and the service is failed.. whereas they would be collecting these transaction fees in the event sellers were responsible for transaction fees on failed tickets, as buyers wouldn’t haven’t a reason to go no-prepayment.

@Alpha

We will take this into consideration.

Thank you.

It’s been just a few days since we increased moderation/rules by 1000% and we’ve already received “You guys are too strict, ease up” emails :D
