Yo,
So I was thinking of this last night,
What if we start using a custom made currency, that's controlled by MCM?
So like, MCM credits or MCM money.
For example, there is a balance in you MCM account.
Then you can add balance to your MCM account, by adding
Money from PayPal. Then you can send your MCM currency to others and they can then withdraw it after 1-2 weeks.
This way, if someone scams someone else, you can do a scam report, and you will 100% get your money back, if you are right.

Also, another cool thing would be to go to "Earn free credit" and there you watch ads and get a few credits. It would want people to get free money, while also helping MCM.

Lastly this is just an Idea, please don't hate ;)
I just thought of this, and I know this isn't the perfect plan.​

MC-MARKET COULD BE A BANK!!!! WE CAN EXCHANGE OUR CREDITS FOR REAL MONEY AT ALL PARTICIPATING BANKERS!!! WOW, I CAN'T WAIT TO CELL STUFF, GET CREDITS, AND WITHDRAW MONEY IN EXCHANGE OF MONEY AT MY LOCAL BAKS!!! I KNOW ALL BANKS IN THE US WILL LOVE THE IDEA, THEY WANT TO TEAM WITH MC-MARKET TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW CURRENCY. EVENTUALLY, MONEY WILL BE RIDDEN OF, AND WE'LL HAVE MC-M CREDITS! DO AWAY WITH MONEY!!
Are you a retard?
Or do you want to act like a retard?

1-2 weeks is way too much. If you were sending 1-10 dollars, its not worth waiting so long. Maybe it could be implemented, but be optional.

This would only cause a lot more issues for McM compared to the few it may solve. No matter what is done there will always be scamming and not everyone will use/want to use this credit system for one reason or another. As stated above, since you obtain these credits by basically buying them for actual currency, what's to stop the person legitimately buying say a Server then charging back on McM? The seller would still have the credits and if the chargeback goes through successfully, McM will lose a lot. Overall its just another flawed system that won't work out in the long or short run as the downsides can't be fixed or would not be worthwhile to fix.

Assume we use this method. It's completely flawed.

What if original payer chargebacks on mcm? MCM is left to pay the bill.

What if I decide to scam the original payer? He sends me credits, but I never send my pack of 24 (crappy) prison mines that he was buying? And what if then, I withdraw the money to paypal before he can even click the scam reports section?
mcm makes enough money anyway.

I like this idea, I'm sure we can find a way against chargebacks.

Well first, that's why I said you have to wait like a few days to withdraw you money,
That way if someone starts a scam report, they can't withdraw untill the case has been decided.

Also, that's the only flaw I could see, charging back on MCM,

Thats the only con in my eyes...
maybe if MCM can talk to Paypal and they can make it so that you "cant" chargeback on MCM, then this would be a great idea.[DOUBLEPOST=1457538846][/DOUBLEPOST]
I believe it'd be an amazing idea but the fact that you can't withdraw and use the money directly is a huge con in my eyes.
Well, we need to wait atleast some time, cause if we dont a scammer could just withdraw right away.
maybe like 1-2 days of waiting.[DOUBLEPOST=1457538891][/DOUBLEPOST]

maybe like 1-2 days then? atleast long enough for someone to start a scam report, if nessassary?

That wouldn't be an option. PayPal wouldn't allow something like that to be done for anyone as that business/person could then scam if they wished to without the buyer been able to chargeback/claim the money back from the scam. Most chargebacks can be stopped but they are not a 100% gurantee of McM winning so there isn't exactly a resolution to a problem that has the potential to get rid of McM for the sake of a new currency that may not help much.

This will probably not be implemented as Mick probably doesn't want to deal with chargebacks.

This is actually cool, but if mick doesn't want to deal with chargebacks. They can just take those mcm credits from the scammer.

Me: One 18-piece fried chicken please
Cashier: Okay, anything else?
Me: No, thanks.
Cashier: That'll be 30 MCM credits please
Me: Please withdraw them from Mick's MCM account.
Cashier: Okay. What's the password?
Me: letmein
Cashier: Alright order complete. Your fried chicken will be ready in 10 mins.
What part of "Only withdraw to Paypal or Bitcoin" dont you understand?
Basically mcm is a SECURE as hell MiddleMan![DOUBLEPOST=1457539698][/DOUBLEPOST]
Horrible idea. You can scam somebody and withdraw your credits to paypal before they can even open a scam report. Not to mention chargebacks as well.
Well, if you read the comments, then maybe some way we could let PayPal know about this, and they could Somehow not allow chargeback on MCM...maybe

true, but dont get the wrong idea,
im not wanting a new currency, im just adding a way to make MCM more of a MiddleMan...[DOUBLEPOST=1457539794][/DOUBLEPOST]
What about the fact that you could withdraw your credits to paypal money before someone can report you for scamming?
Thats why you have to wait before you can withdraw, atleast a day or two.

Scam reports can take longer than 2 days to resolve.
I said for a scam report to be submitted and approved.
If a scam report is approved, then both parties cant withdraw until the Report has been finished
