Can you do deals on this forum if you have any negative Trust?

Some 2 years ago I did something stupid, someone left me negative feedback because I didn't have liquid BTC to settle a deal. I pigheadedly decided to buy positive feedback paying with BTC (also becuz I thought anything goes including reselling accounts). Got a tonne of negative feedback about it. Haven't posted much later on. Not in the market for anything currently but I wonder if you can only deal on the Marketplace if you have a pristine positive Trust record.

From the lack of answers I guess the answer is no. kthxbai

Your trust rating is only one way for your potential trading partners to gauge if you are trustworthy and if you are worth spending time on trying to get a deal worked out.

Your negative trust will likely make it somewhat more difficult for you to find someone willing to trade with you, however at the end of the day if they wish to deal with you then nothing will stop anyone from trading with you.

Like qs said, it's up to the counterparty to decide if they believe your story. QS didn't mention it but he has plenty of negative trust from his escrow scam and he still has a lending service here. That should say it all.

If you do want to trade, use an escrow.
Other users then shouldn't have a problem trading with you, in spite of your negative trust.

You can still do everything on this forum that a non negative trusted member can do, except for specific things like some signature campaigns. People might be more afraid to trade with you because of the trust, but other then that it doesn't make a huge difference.

yes negative trust has an impact on your trading,only way you can do trade is for you to go first do an escrow getting a negative trust in my opinion is a big deal it's like walking on this forum with a cap "people don't trust me here"..

Those with a zero trust rating can also make deals in the market place, you do not necessarily need a positive trust rating to make a deal.

A negative trust rating won't get you a deal in the market place because it basically shouts: "Hey! I'm a scammer; you better not come near me."

Hmmm to all users ive seen out there ive only seen about 10 out of 100 users with negative trust.I dont know how they get and why did they get negative trust.Maybe they scammed someone or stole an accout or mock someone.Yet people with negative trust may still transact to other users but that way to risky because they have negative trust.

Yes, plenty of negative users trade here all of the time. Just always offer to use escrow with someone reputable and it should not really make any difference.

Yeah look at my feedback and if you can find evidence that you can't trust me, then by all means don't trust me. Anyone can leave anyone else negative trust here, including butthurt scammers retaliating against some perceived slight. See if you can actually find a reference link to untrustworthy activities on my part.
