Allow non-ranked users to sell ranked minecraft accounts

[Reversi]

I have talked about this in a support thread, however I still do believe that all users should be allowed to sell minecraft accounts. Not OG accounts or Cape accounts but most of the users on mc-market have an account or two with a rank they would like to sell.

Ranked accounts would sell for cheap, unless it had a cape and/or og name, which would honestly benefit mc-market since a lot more members have minecraft account then any skills in development, designs/graphics, building, and more. The selling of minecraft accounts is the one thing that almost every user can do, yet they are restricted from doing so.

From what I'm aware only ranked users can make a thread selling an account due to the amount of scams and amount of scams resolved. Although account theft is very easily done, it is more common for users to scam for a large sum of money then cheap ranked accounts. Just allowing users with mc accounts linked to their profile to sell ranked accounts is my suggestions.

A lot of things can be done to prevent scamming such as middlemans, being more aware when buying or selling, etc. In all honesty, I do believe that the person who gets scammed is a little at fault when they are scammed unless they did all they could to prevent it.

Putting a certain amount of reactions / posts / messages / age of mcmarket account would make a big difference when allowing non-ranked members to sell a minecraft account and reduce the chances of being scammed.

(Yes, it probably would have been easier to buy a premium then make this thread, but I'm broke and maybe I can sell my ranked account for some money to buy premium :rofl

But this is a legitimate suggestion and I would appreciate it if people consider it.

It might be an ok idea, but I have my doubts.

 

[Reversi]

2 disagrees, both premiums, no reasons given. :rofl:

 

[Crimvael]

Just link the account and poof, theres your proof of ownership. .-.

 

[NotOkay]

Non ranked members are not allowed to sell accounts to prevent scamming i believe.

middlemans could be helping the scam too though

also use the begging forum to ask for premium vry easy

 

[NotOkay]

Many many many Supreme's and Premium's have got a very high reputation and then scammed a ton of players. I don't see why non-ranked users are just presumed to scam.[DOUBLEPOST=1470460234][/DOUBLEPOST]
Because they are greedy and don't want non-ranked users to do things like this.

Also, if all of us non-ranked users start selling accounts then forums will be very full and a lot more than just ranked users. They could potentially have issues selling their accounts.

i actually don't remember. SSenile?

 

[Dragonfly]

I'd be fine with this if there were tight restrictions on who could do it. EG, vouch number, account age and how reputable you are.

Erm, this isnt a bad idea, but if were listing opinions I say both, so ill go with agree

Shooing away the competition, lol. But even if a lot of supreme users and premium users scammed a lot of players, that can also be prevented with the use of a middleman. Perhaps a stickied thread on the accounts section, explaining how to prevent being scammed, could help a lot of uninformed, trusting members.[DOUBLEPOST=1470465385][/DOUBLEPOST]

good luck.

XD Begging you rn. Buy me premium

OH, I have no money sadly. I would if i could

I was going to suggest the use of the Reputation tab under profiles / users but this is so un-used that there literally would be no point. I have no clue when it was added or if it was always there.

But a lot of people prefer to reply Vouch, or comment vouch on users pages rather then using the reputation tab, not sure how mcm would check for your vouch count, but using certain reactions, messages, reputation, etc could be some of these restrictions you mention.

The selling of minecraft accounts is the one thing that almost every user can do, yet they are restricted from doing so.

It would not benefit mcm at all and I know that for a fact. When we had the old mc account sections, they were filled with ban evaders and scammers and that was one of the reasons it was removed at first.

From what I'm aware only ranked users can make a thread selling an account due to the amount of scams and amount of scams resolved. Although account theft is very easily done, it is more common for users to scam for a large sum of money then cheap ranked accounts.

You'd be surprised at how many pathetic $2 scammers there are on here. There's this one idiot who keeps ban evading to try and scam $2-$3 OptiFine capes and I've dealt with many similar cases.

A lot of things can be done to prevent scamming such as middlemans, being more aware when buying or selling, etc. In all honesty, I do believe that the person who gets scammed is a little at fault when they are scammed unless they did all they could to prevent it.

We already have something to greatly reduce scamming and so far it's worked out perfectly: Requiring Premium/Supreme and having a minimum account age requirement. There's absolutely no reason to change that just because you want to sell your account and don't feel like buying premium.

Putting a certain amount of reactions / posts / messages / age of mcmarket account would make a big difference when allowing non-ranked members to sell a minecraft account and reduce the chances of being scammed.

As stated above, we already have a working system and we see no reason to change it.

Suggestions are meant to benefit the community as a whole and not get you something you want. I don't get why people act like $10 is so much. This is a marketplace, find some simple work to do if needed and buy Premium if you want.

On top of what Doge has already set, even if in some twist of fate we DO decide to implement a system that allows unranked members to sell accounts, the requirements would be FAR beyond what you lot fullfill right now. You'd probably need to be highly active on this site for at least another half year before you could meet them, even if we DID set them.
Which we won't, as doge has explained.

Listen, Im rankless, But even I can see how this idea is a fuckin trainwreck. You could just create infinate alts and infinate fake proof of ownership and then just scam over and over and over and over and over. No point, //thread

So I need to pay $10 to sell a $5 account. And it seems like a lot more people then just me agree with this thread. I am not denying that I made this thread because I want to sell an account as a non-premium/supreme member, but I also made this thread because I know other non-donor members would like to sell their accounts as well. Not to mention the masses of players that play using cracked launchers since they can not afford a full account.

Minecraft is a game for ages 8 and up, and after a while, sooner or later, most players will quit. It would benefit both the mc-market community if members could sell their accounts for cheap to those who can not afford a new $30 account. Your reply seems a bit more bias due to the fact that there has been scams in the past, nor did you reply to my suggestion about having a middleman to reduce the possibility of scam. Introducing a middleman could definitely pretty much reduce scamming by at least 90% and double the amount of people in the ranked accounts section. The only reason you are claiming that this will not benefit mcm is due to the high scam risk, which is a very true, but if you put strict requirements in place this would definitely change that for the better, since on a minecraft market, what is the one thing everyone will have? A minecraft account.

(if you do reply, especially about the middleman section reducing scams by 90%, if the buyer were to pay the middleman, and the seller were to give the account to the middleman and allow him to change the account security questions email and password, the only possible method to scam is if the middleman were to run off and ditch or if the seller were to take this to mojang. - 90%)

Listen, Im rankless, But even I can see how this idea is a fuckin trainwreck. You could just create infinate alts and infinate fake proof of ownership and then just scam over and over and over and over and over. No point, //thread

What's to stop premiums and supremes from doing this? The current system in place has nothing to stop what you just stated, so whether my suggestion is implemented or not, the trainwreck is still there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's more is almost all the disagrees are by premiums and supremes while the agrees are between both members and premiums/supremes. I'm just saying let some people sell an account for a quick dollar or two. Pretty sure I won't even be able to afford premium with the amount of money I make off my account if I do get to sell it.

The supreme and premium requirement on account restriction is probably there to reduce scamming as the member will lose a $10 - $25 rank on mcm and be banned permanently if they do scam. This does benefit mcm as they make money, but in terms of scamming, if the same restrictions or even stricter restrictions are put in place whether or not a member has supreme or premium, it will still reduce the chances of scamming. I'm only suggesting that ranked accounts be available to members since ranked accounts whether they have $1000's in donations or just $5 they will sell for cheap and much less then its worth being banned on mcm.
