you don't need to trade with someone to know how trustworthy they are. I have observed how many people trade and conduct themselves on here and can have a pretty good idea as to how much they should be trusted.
It's the quickseller public masterbation post of the day! He just can't keep it in his pants. And it seems that no matter how many times I keep calling him out for "tooting his own horn" (so to speak) in public rather than allowing someone else to offer a compliment, he just doesn't get it.
There are plenty of people on here when I would say it would absolutely not be safe to trade with despite the fact they technically have not scammed or attempted to scam yet.
Yup, and the fact that you've been ostentatiously wrong on that so many times is the reason that no one could keep you on their trust list for longer than a week or two. And the masterbation (above) isn't going to convince anyone. You need to settle down and think before you act if you want to regain your own broken reputation.
If someone wants to vouch or me or claim that I am a scammer they are free to do that. If they are wrong then their reputation is on the line.
Like what happened to you?
If you witness someone return funds when theft would have been possible then it should be reasonable to say they are trustworthy, the same goes with several examples.
