Hey,

Since I’ve never really bought something off from a stranger before, how do I make sure that I won’t get scammed.

Example: I’m purchasing a minecon cape account, send the money through paypal but mans pulling the account back, money gone.

I’m actually looking to buy a minecon cape account early 2020. Any kind of advice would be really super appreciated.

Happy holidays

I was thinking of purchasing from a trusted seller like Kelsey or Doge but their prices are quite high compared to the others, but then again, they’re super trusted.

Just don't buy from people with low reps yes the prices may seem better but that just makes it easier for them to scam whilst buying from reputable sellers may cost more its the only really reliable way.

The safest way to deal is always through MC-Market PMs. If you are going to deal on Discord, make the user you're dealing with PM you confirming that you're doing a deal right now and don't accept any excuses for why they can't. Seeing that their discord on-site matches their discord isn't enough because it can be faked using fancy characters.

When trading for a product always agree on clear and fair terms about what will happen in the event that the account is locked, taken back, etc.

Also, use a middleman you trust in all deals at the beginning too I think, until you get a sense of who is reputable and not on the site and who you can trust.

Can the account still be pulled back when using a mm?[DOUBLEPOST=1577003415][/DOUBLEPOST]

Those with more rep can be scammers too right?

Yeah, but with lesser risk.
