It is generally pretty safe, it has a built-in escrow system for online trades and a solid system for cash trades. Check out the details here:
https://localbitcoins.com/guides/security

However, it must be said that there are still many scammers on localbitcoins. A local trader who I buy from was scammed for approximately $1000 USD by someone who used identity fraud. The scammer told someone else that he will sell them a certain digital good for that amount, and the person paid $1000 to my trader's bank account. At the same time, the scammer initiated a transaction with him on localbitcoins and said that the bank transfer was from him, and my trader sent him the btc equivalent. The scammer vanished, the other person reported to the local authorities and my trader now lost the BTC he was sent, and lost the $100 dollars. So the system does have it's flaws.

I suggest that you offer at least a 15% discount on the total price of the goods, otherwise people may do better to just buy from your well-established competitor, who also buys via gift cards:

Additionally, maybe the Services section will be better suited for this thread, as you not selling an actual digital good.

If you want to get more people interested in your offer, put the btc in escrow so that potential designers will know that you have the funds and won't run away with the designs without paying.
Also, you can try and increase the bounty to incentivize more people to give up their time to design a logo for you. Currently 5$ might only get you a rough design that willonly take a few minutes t make, not a proper, well-conceptualized one.

I will update my signature upon confirmation.
Thanks,

Why would people spend 5$ to buy an account from a newbie when even Full Members are having trouble with their accounts?
You can abandon your account when accounts stop working, and what's to say that these accounts aren't hacked, stolen or shared?

I have a question for you: why would anyone buy a stolen Microsoft key from you - that is almost guaranteed to stop working in the future - when they can just torrents and cracks to get the program? Essentially the risk is the same, just that they'd lose 5 or  if they go with you. And to top it off, you're not a senior or established member of the forums, you can get abandoned the account when things turn sour. I don't think anyone will buy from you here.

Voila, you have just blocked all emails that will ever come again from that spamming email address.

At least nobody has sent any btc to that email address yet...

Hi all,

I am here to verify that the seller sent me the login credentials of the AddMeFast account along with the associated email account. I experienced some difficulty securing the email thanks to Hotmail's difficult policies. However, I have secured the AddMeFast account and will report if anything stops working.

As for the balance of the account, see for yourself.



I can therefore verify that this seller is legit and his product is working.

Thanks.

Hi,
I would be willing to accept your free vouch copy in return for feedback on if the service is legit or not. I have accepted vouches from other services as well, you can check my post history.
PM me the details and I will post feedback as soon as I can.

Thanks.

MYSTIC has been active since 2011 and was created in 2009, and it's still running. It's basically an NSA surveillance system capable of recording “100 percent” of a foreign country’s telephone calls, allowing them to rewind and review conversations as long as a month after they take place. The US Govt. will have the content as well as the duration of calls, but only for certain countries, like the Bahamas.
Proof: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-surveillance-program-reaches-into-the-past-to-retrieve-replay-phone-calls/2014/03/18/226d2646-ade9-11e3-a49e-76adc9210f19_story.html


Also, in the same vein, Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows the US to demand the call records of millions of innocent people. They can see exactly who you're texting with and who you're calling. They even collected the phone records of millions of US customers of Verizon under a top secret court order. Here's some more info on that:

It doesn't matter if the Supreme Court finds these programs undemocratic and unconstitutional (and they are), because nothing is, and will be done to stop them unless there is a very strong reaction from American citizens the world over. Unfortunately, that's not happening.

Since the OP has not updated in almost 12 hours, I would also like to volunteer my help. I am a big custom-ROM user and I own a Galaxy S4, so I can explain to you from experience how to root/unroot an S4. If you need any advice on roms, I could help you out too.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

Is there a particular reason why you stopped offering 1 month premium codes? Some buyers may be interested in trying the Lynda.com service before buying it, and the 30 day premium accounts were a good way to do that. Now the only option is to risk paying for a year of service that you are not sure is suitable for you.

Hi all,

I am here to verify that I received a vouch code for a Your Travel Card with £100 balance in it. I was able to check the balance for this card at:
http://www.travelbyinspire.co.uk/checkbalance

Here is evidence of the card being loaded with that amount:



Although I can not verify for how long this code will be valid, I can state that this code is valid at the moment of writing.

Thanks.

Hi,
I would be willing to take up your 100 pounds voucher offer in return for feedback on whether the voucher is good or not.
PM me the details.

Thanks,

The Senior Account you're selling should take 6-8 months to become a Hero if I did my maths right. 0.25 seems like a reasonable price, but since it is in a signature campaign, could you give us an idea on when we will get our ROI, assuming that we are still in the campaign? And I'm also assuming that the post quality is high as it is in a sig campaign?

Some services e.g. domain registrars will check account information with the name on the card to verify if it is real information or not. How will that work withthis card? What is the name on the card? And to reload, do we do it only through you or can we do it ourselves? It seems quite expensive, seeing as you can get a Mastercard debit card for about 8$, with ID. How would you do a chargeback from this card if the bank doesn't know who you are?

One thing I don't quite understand is that you will have our credit card # and the CVV2 number, which in effect grants you access to whatever funds we load onto the card. Isn't there some great risk involved in this?

"BUY THIS DOMAIN
The owner of thecryptotrader.com is offering it for sale for an asking price of 1500 USD!"

Is the price negotiable for this? And will you accept bitcoin payments with an escrow rather than that website, where I think PayPal is used? Some buyers might not want to link their personal information linked with the domain On the same note, does it come with whoisguard?

I was thinking of buying an custom account from you because for your several couches, but it seems like all the accounts have stopped working recently and you're not able to fix them.
As such, I won't be buying now, but I will keep an eye on this thread, because you should be able to honour your warranties to your customers and replace/fix all of their accounts that stop working.

Until then, I would advise buyers to buy very cautiously from this seller because of recent issues with accounts. Caveat emptor.

Having a vouch from a scammer won't really help your business. Also, even though you are saying they are "privately" cracked, the original owner still has access and can recover the accounts at any time, seeing as this is illegal. Caveat emptor - buyer should know that these accounts are sold as-is, subject to any and all defects. There is no telling when these accounts will die, but it is very unlikely that it will be for long.

What I would advise you to do is find a trusted escrow that you are comfortable with, transfer the 0.1 BTC to them and then the escrow can confirm that you have paid. This means that users will know you're not a scam and will try to help you out. In case nobody cracks the code in a specified timeframe, the escrow would return their funds back to you. So both you, and the potential crackers will be protected.
