Marketplace Guidelines Reminder

Recently there have been a number of people who have not been reading the marketplace rules, and as a result they have been getting scammed or having credits taken off of them for selling an item/service illegally.

So as a result, here is a reminder of some of the rules that often cause these problems:

Selling items over an instant messenger or off the forum

We encourage members to not make transactions involving GameRenders via MSN/AIM/Yahoo etc. This is because we will not provide any sort of scam protection if you trade off of the forum, so if someone steals your credits/money then don't PM us, we won't be interested unless there is a lot of good solid evidence to show that the scam involved someone on GameRenders (e.g screenshots, IM logs) and the scammer has not spent their credits.

Here is the rule that covers this:

If you want to make a quick transaction via IM and want scam protection, then make sure that you make a thread selling your item and tell the buyer to post a reply in it confirming he is going to buy it.

Selling GameRenders accounts

Remember that accounts created after April 1st, 2005 cannot be sold via the forum or externally from GameRenders. Any such account that is found to be sold will be disabled (so the buyer loses the account they paid for) and the seller of the account will be fined.

When you sell an account, remember to change the password immedietly after receiving it. We are not responsible for any credit losses caused by sellers logging onto accounts they sold in the past where the buyer hasn't changed the password.

Note that accounts that have been sold cannot have their -reps or warns removed. Once an account has been sold, all reputation on that account is frozen and cannot be changed. This is done to stop people with bad reputation or high warn levels having the same value as perfect accounts with no -reputation or warns.

Here is the rule in the marketplace covering these rules:

Selling items of value for credits

When selling items of real money value for credits, always request that the credits be sent first. Remember, we can control the credits sent via GameRenders and so if you get scammed, we can reverse the transaction. We will not provide any scam protection to stupidity (e.g when buying credits, sending money via Paypal before the credits are sent).

 

Sounds cool, anything to make gamerenders more safe 1st post w00t!
