PSA on Scammers [IMPORTANT]

Hello people,

Sad PSA that I have to make.

  1. Whenever you receive a box from someone, videotape the opening. Then if something is broken or it's full of rocks then you have proof. Same for returns! Pictures are not great evidence as they are easily staged. Okay?

  2. I will encourage you to not agree to sales/trades with people STRICTLY over PM. Banned users often try to circumvent their banning through PM. Make sure that you check their profile to see when they last commented in r/airsoftmarket and what their flair is. If they have nothing recent, maybe ask that they comment on your post? Banned users cannot.

Thank you for your time!

I wish banning people stopped them from viewing the subreddit entirely.

yeah, but even if that were to happen you can log out of your account and just enter the link to the subreddit probably.

Highly recommend people respond to people who also comment. Allows you to ensure they're not on the ban list, number of flair and where theyre located.

Communication is highly important in any case where money or goods of high value can be privvy to tampering or scamming! so remember to be an active partner in any conversation, even if to excuse yourself from it or even to decline an offer.

Responding to PM doesn't check that, surely you mean comment?

Documentation is important. I haven't had any issues here. Everyone I have dealt with has been great. Ebay on the other hand....I just had to refund a $300 sale which caused me to lose a potential buy here.

Document everything too. I've had a case opened in Paypal for a transaction like 3 months after the guy received the item. Luckily I had the tracking # saved so I put that in and eventually Paypal returned the money.

Would it be possible to keep an up to date banlist public, to prevent people from PMing like that?

We do have one, on the right side of the screen.

I'm pretty sure that isn't always updated. I got scammed a while ago and I think the guy got banned, but he isn't listed.

We have a banlist hall of fame on the sidebar.
