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.​

I would award you with dumbest idea of 2016 if I could.

Your idea would make MCM a money-laundering scheme. Not to mention it would flag their PayPal for the amount of transactions it would be doing daily and would be nearly impossible to keep up with without extensive backend logs.

You would have to record every incoming payment, who purchased the credits, check if they have charged back before on MCM(because you'd be spawning circulatory money, unlike a rank which is not removable), log who sends money to who, run BTS to check if transactions are fraudulent, if so, how much of a hit does MCM take out of the deal between Member A and Member B...

I really don't think I've heard an idea as incompetent as this one. I mean not even Justis' "remove the ratings system" was as bad as this idea. This is illegal. Like, Liberty Reserve Illegal(without proper government approval).
Well... Rip... It was just an idea...

The flaws with this system is a massive exit scam. Plenty of marketplaces like Evolution and BlackBank have done the same thing. I wouldn't trust my money with anyone on this website including the 'staff' members.

I ALSO dont lime waiting up to 2 weeks for my money as suggested
Well,
I guess when someone scams you, don't make a scam report, because it was not their fault. It was your fault.
Plus it would be 1-2 days, and if a scam report is submitted, then both parties cannot withdraw money for as long as the report is open. Simple.

I think using a debit card would be better as there are normally no fees.

Here's my opinion on the issue. This idea is horrible. This entire currency is just another annoyance for staff to take care of that really shouldn't be their responsibility in the first place. Their is a very simple way to not get scammed and it is ... wait for it ... pay goods and services on the buyer side, and to take a shit ton of screenshots on the seller side. Although I am not in the MC business anymore, this works perfectly with Instagram accounts and I'm sure that if you call PayPal and act mature when you get scammed, you will have no trouble getting your money back. And another thing, this would put a TON of responsibility on MC-Market to protect everyones money at all times, which will never happen because A. If something happens that makes it so people can't receive payment for an extended period of time then a bunch of angry 13 year olds will complain that their 10 credits were stolen and B. because we would be putting the trust of almost all of the money in the forum with a group of teenagers. (Not that I'm saying theres anything wrong with being a teenager, or that all of MCM's staff are teenagers, I'm one myself, it just doesn't seem like a good idea giving that much money to people who, to be quite blunt, can't be trusted as much as we think they can.)

It doesnt work like that.
some times Paypal will be retarded and not give it even though you have 5 pages of proof.[DOUBLEPOST=1457570305][/DOUBLEPOST]
not to mention it still is illegal and illogical.
glad it remains open, though..

Let's encourage fraud !
How is this Fraud?
and how's it Illegal?
