Is that better or worse than what I do now? Now I at least try to recover your funds

yeah cuz it means they are less likely to try and get a deal that they know is too good to be true, they do it now cuz they think to themselves "its ok zb will cover me if it goes tits up"

There is another option, but it will cost YOU THE USER.

There's a system in place on my other site Ownedcore.com where traders can verify their identity. You would have to pay XX # of points do this feature, but do it once and you are good to go.

Scammers probably wouldn't go through the hassle... +if you agree to do it, both you and the person you are trading with will have access to the information (name, phone #).

I'm all for this. You're right, most scammers aren't going to want to spend something to get something.

I think those who are serious about trading in good faith would consider the points a small price to pay. New users will find it cost prohibitive I'm sure, but then again this isn't a trading site rather it is a poker site that should accommodate trading ONLY as a courtesy to those whom have put in time here.

this is sorry excuse to not ban people LOL

im all for stopping scammers but i think insta banning ppl for mentioning paypal or infracting them is just plain retarded. i could post my transaction history from paypal and show you thousands of dollars in trades from ppl here on pokerowned involving paypal. NOT ONCE have i ever been scammed or have i screwed another member using paypal. i just trade with longtime wellknown members.

furthermore i like the idea of people adding screennames during a trade. ive mentioned this before. if someone scams then we should get their poker accounts banned. screw being banned here. ppl dont care about that at all. proven that its easy to just make a new account here. you take away their way to make money from scamming(POKER ACCOUNTS) then they will be screwed for a little bit. at least til they move or whatnot.

Im lovin it! tnx for posting it bro, hope people stop scammin and quick!
