Recently I have seen a lot of people been scammed, and it's not only small amounts it's also large amounts (100+). I've made this to prevent scamming as I think this is pretty necessary as too many people are been scammed.
Firstly, DO NOT TRUST RANDOM USERS. This is why people are been scammed, a user may bid on something $300, and then the deal goes through -> they scam and 1 hour later are banned for ban evading. I would not trust random users, especially ones which accounts have been created within 2 weeks. Also, reactions isn't rep. Just cause I got 700 reactions, doesn't mean I'm trustworthy. I suggest you look on a person's profile and then see if they are trustworthy or not, also look at the amount of scam reports put on them.
Secondly, when dealing large sums use invoices. Invoices are a fast and good way to make it so you aren't scammed, you request an invoice, and remember to put ALL details on what it is, and then they accept it, and you get the payment. This is simple and can easily remove A LOT of scam reports.
Lastly, if you're dealing accounts or cape codes, ask them to give you the account first but have security questions enabled, then you can pay and then you get the security questions. Furthermore, with TID's I suggest you contact mojang about it asap, to check if it's a real TID. When dealing with cape codes ask them to go first since the cape code could be a scam, also cape codes will not go under $100, especially some of the older cape codes, since it's really hard to find them as people have redeemed them.
