What is a Middle Man?

[Airodene]

So I get that they do the deals on behalf of someone, but I don't see why they are necessary. What is their purpose? How do they minimise scams? Why don't people just deal themselves instead of handing out commission for someone to do it for them?

The middle man can, for example, login to the mc account to see the information is valid and also see that the buyer actually has the money to buy the product.

Ok basically the point of them is that you send the money to them and the seller sends whatever to the middleman and the middleman checks if everything is correct and makes sure you don’t get scammed but if you don’t have a middleman you can send the money and the person blocks you and leaves, obviously if you send g&s you can always get a chargeback but that’s a pain and using a middleman usually means that you don’t decide on who goes first or not.[DOUBLEPOST=1546988352][/DOUBLEPOST]People use it as extra protection
