Lapsus' Safe Trading Service!

Closed due to lack of interest.

Want to trade someone for a large, expensive, or rare item?
Worried about getting scammed?
Want some extra security in your trades?
I can help!

How it works:
I will act as an intermediary for your trades, meaning both parties involved will send me their half of the trade, and when I have both parts, I'll pass them on to their proper recipient. If one of the two people does not send their part of the trade, refuses the trade, or otherwise does not hold up their end of the bargain, I will return whatever other part of the trade that I am holding, in full.

How do I know I can trust you?
I will be keeping a public record of all current trades.
If I were stupid enough to try and scam you, everyone would know, and I would be banned on the spot. There's so many admins and moderators watching this that it's not even funny.
I have no desire to start from nothing after the work I put into this game. I do not want to start over again.

What do I get out of this?
I will charge a small handling fee on transactions passed through me, 5% of the value of the trade, or 100tc, whichever is higher. If the trade is not completed [either part does not send me the agreed-upon items and/or tc], I will not charge anything. I will only take a fee on successfully completed trades.
I will be taking the fee out of the tc that is passed through me. Adjust your prices if necessary.

What do you get out of this?
You will get a more secure method of trading items and toricredits.
You will not have to worry about the other person not sending you the items/tc after you have sent your half.
You will be safe from being scammed out of your hard-earned items and tc.

How can I start or accept a trade through you?
To start or accept a trade through me, you can either post in this thread, or PM me on the forum with the following information:
Your Name:
Name of recipient:
What you are sending
What you expect to recieve in return:
Today's Date (mm/dd/yyyy):

If you are missing any of this information, or take longer than one day to send the item after starting or accepting the trade, I will treat it as a refused trade and return all items and tc.

If one of the people recieving the items does not have the Qi required to recieve the item, I will treat it as a refused trade and return all items and tc.

If I do not have the Qi required to recieve the items for the trade[!], I will refer you to someone that can be trusted, and the trade will pass through him instead.

If you are sending a forum PM, please set the title to "Trade Service" so that it will be easier for me to keep things organized!

How can I back out of or decline a trade through you?
To decline a trade through me, you can either post in this thread, or PM me on the forum with the following information:
Your Name:
Who the trade was from:
What the trade was for:
Optional Why you are refusing the trade:

I will consider trades as expired one full week [7 days] after they are started. If the trade is not completed after those 7 days, I will return all the items and/or tc involved and treat is as a refused trade.

If you are sending a forum PM, please set the title to "Trade Refusal" so that it will be easier for me to keep things organized!

Current Trades:

Statistics:

that seems like a good marketing scheme

At your service Lapsus.

Everyone, I strongly agree that you ought to use this for large transfers and rare items. I will ban on Lapsus' command.

:o, This is a Grrrrrrrrrrreat Idear. Go Lappy!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone :3

Now it's just a waiting game, to see if anyone actually is interested in using this!

I'd be more than happy to answer any questions that anyone here may have, by the way.

Hello lapsus! :3

This is a wonderful idea
Good luck with this lapsus

That is all.

As good an idea as this may apparently be, there doesn't seem to be any interest at all in it :P

Oh well, I'll just keep waiting.

Honestly, i think that the ppl who are rich enough to use this service are actually trustable enough to do it themselves. at least all the ppl i trade with are

probably ...

still a good service to have out there though!

At the very least, I suppose it's good to have out there as an option. If there's someone out there that you've never seen before that wants to buy or sell something to you, go through me, and you won't have to worry about being scammed!
