Hmmmmm...Yah seems to be like the whole community is in disarray of trust. Maybe there should be a protocol that the moderators of this sub forum should police. I think decadentmining has a point of the pics and documented process of a transaction.

1) Prior to any transaction the seller who posts needs to put a picture up with item and forum name handle. If pics aren't put up with name then post should be taken off by the moderators.
2) Within the same thread some way of documenting money sent from buyer and shipment label with posted date.
3) When buyer receives the item, they can take a picture with name and also post on the same thread to complete the transaction.

Not sure if this will a sure shot way but at least there's a trail and its a little safer?

Thoughts?

I completely agree. I think that would be exactly what would make this sub-forum work. A little trust, a little proof, a lot of win.

I've used Philipma1957 for escrow numerous times with no issues.

This thread is utterly useless.

The thread isn't useless. While it may not help OP with issues, if he runs into them...it does help the rest of us understand that there is a much larger issue at play here. And it needs to be addressed. I don't want to go so far as calling people cowardly...because I just got here....but, cowards. That's the only word for people who start a forum, make it into something like this, and then have zero interest in protecting its user base. Especially when this particular sub-forum could be like a gold mine for those individual miners who just want 1 or 2 miners. This could be the one-stop shop for those people, and those people are going up BIG TIME! It's not just mining operations now, it's joe shmoe at home who wants to make some extra cash because his cost of electricity is cheap or free. Those are the people this sub-forum seems to be catering to, and yet...there's absolutely no visible desire by the leaders of this forum to do anything to help promote and instill trust and confidence in the buying process. That is odd, for any forum...and specifically one dealing in items that are strictly related to making money.

there's only what, 2 or 3 accounts that trade here often that are trustworthy...the rest are noob/shill accounts.

I think that if a seller hasn't made a trade within the past 30 days or so then you probably should doubt their trustworthiness irrelevant to what their rating is.

We both know you're just account farming as usual though...
