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.
Keeping the money in the swapd pool for a minimum of 30 days for purchases for non-authenticated members. This will protect both the buyer and the seller. At the end of 30 days, swapd makes the payment to the other party and is freed from this responsibility. That’s a different option!
In addition, the responsibility for shopping with non-authenticated members should be between the buyer and the seller. Swapd should inform both the buyer and the seller about this. When we accept this responsibility and complete a ticket, we know that our money is guaranteed for 30 days.
Keep ID verification for buying few specific services. Sellers will decide they want to sell their service to the buyer who is verified or not. I think that will be better
As soon as users are not linked to an ID, it means they are not known personally & don’t risk any reputation. imo services will go downhill.
There was a time on Swapd that when someone scammed, Swapd community made sure the scammer’s life became a hell. That let people think twice before scamming.
How can anyone get scammed if terms are clear and transactions are escrowed? I’m still confused. Can someone articulate an actual scenario? @coehn said people can take back accounts, which is 100% valid. But if unverified sellers are restricted from selling accounts, that problem is solved.
You just know that there will be a lot of timewasters and a lot of people trying to pull back accounts etc.
Buying should be totally fine though, all payment methods should be allowed for non-verified users. Who cares if the money is in escrow anyway.
We all understand that you want to be more attractive to new users, but I think it would make sense for new users that they are not allowed to sell if they are not verified.
Give people 1-3 free swapd escrow transactions if they verify their ID. In this way they have a good reason to do it and to test swapd out.
Well, coming from someone who paid him around $60k for that service, he fulfilled the terms and didn’t mislead me at all. I knew the risks and chose to do business with him. I don’t think @McEvans scammed most people. He did tell at least one person on here privately that badges are guaranteed, but to me, he never said that. So even if @mcevans returned under an alias in the future, I wouldn’t really care as long as the terms are clear and the payment is escrowed.
There are lots of scenarios. I’ve seen on other sites PR links being deleted after a short time from being released, lots of “sellers” that have no idea how the service they resell works or how to actually get it done because the guy they resell from has no idea itself most of the times.
Overall it’s just unnecessary headaches and unprofessional behaviour that we will see more and more if unverified sellers will be allowed here.
I don’t classify his service as shitty. Even though the accounts were all unverified, he never promised me anything other than the badge. The terms were clear and I decided to move forward. Just being honest here. As to the people he guaranteed lifetime badges to, that’s mostly on the buyer for not negotiating a hold period or just being unrealistic to begin with. That’s def a grey area issue. Tricky one tbh. Because even if the buyer negotiates a 90 day hold period and it gets unverified on the 100th day, what can you really do… id verified or not. It’s just a weird situation.
