Hi. Just wanted to vent a little. I've been [bebbbcc93d6]coming to this forum for a couple of months[/bebbbcc93d6] now, and have had [bebbbcc93d6]one successful trade[/bebbbcc93d6].
Every person I trade with [bebbbcc93d6]wants me to pay them all or half up front [/bebbbcc93d6]to go green at a site. I have tried this on this forum and another and have [bebbbcc93d6]never seen the green or the money aga[/bebbbcc93d6]in.
[bebbbcc93d6]Just Because a person has a lower TR doesn't mean jack, and I don't think that person should have to pay upfront. The bottom line is that I have never been asked to send money upfront at FREELUNCHROOM, And I have made over 20 successful trades there with 100% positive feedback[/bebbbcc93d6][/colorebbbcc93d6].

Well that's the rule here, the more experienced trader gets the luxury of the newer trader going first, unless the two parties agree on it.

[b70079233c0]I understand that is the rule. But, the only thing that rule is good for is helping scammers rip-off Honest Traders[/color70079233c0].[/b70079233c0]

That's what the Trade Record system is for... Obviously don't send money up front to someone that has under 5-10 TR. Also, bad english is a clear sign of a scammer. Just be smart about it, and you should not be getting ripped off too much, if at all.

Yeah not too long ago before all the project payday people and moms came into the scene (which was a good thing), lower TR went first no matter what and none of us had a problem with it. Yes there were still scammers but honestly, a lot less than there are since the whole change in the freebie scene. TR is there for a reason and it is also your responsibility as a trader to watch for scammers and feel the person out.

One suggestion would be to do site for site trading, in which case no money changes hands. You may still have to go first, but it's better than paying up front.
