Title: How would you go about becoming trusted?
Post by: pissing on January 05, 2014, 10:20:59 AM
Ive joined up here to try to sell some amazon vouchers that I have which been sent to me as affiliate payments. Ive been reading round and people are rightly reluctant to enter into these transactions unless they are with a trusted member, even if there is an escrow partner involved...

Does it seem like smaller vouchers would be a good start point or is it just a case of hanging around?

Amazon GCs/vouchers are high-risk. Even smaller amounts may not work. You may have to sell something lower-risk before working up to GCs.

In early days of BTC, vouchers were sold @ 15-20% discount due to trust issues. Most sellers have enough trust to drop the discount, now, but it's probably more rational for a buyer to ignore a 15-20% discount and take a sure thing, depending on how they see the scam risk.
