Diamond jozu Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I understand there is on steamrep but IMO being a SR middleman is hard as process takes tooo long. It would be nice if bp.tf would consider to have this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted June 14, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2018 Steamrep don't have middlemen, the list displayed on steamrep is middlemen from partner communities. Backpack.tf has no current desire contribute to such a list, as I would feel incredibly uncomfortable vouching for the trustworthiness of anyone I don't know extremely well.

I don't really agree with or support the idea of "trusted middlemen" - anyone can go rogue and each person should make a decision for themselves about the trustworthiness of anyone they are trading with based on the available evidence at the time not some list a website gave.

What about if we made applying to be a middleman a similar process to applying for a new bank account. Actual address, realm full name, social security number or something equivalent for non US people, etc. Enough information that they could be sued irl.

Stops dumb people from thinking they can easily be a middleman and make the big buck out of it. If someone really wants to be middleman, he has to be ok with the mods / admins knowing his adress.

I guess some people would be more interested in giving up info as others. Honestly though, how secure is backpack that you could trust them with your full Address, name, and SSN of all things. It's already crazy how much info marketplace wants me to give just to buy a key. I still wouldn't trust the middleman too, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted June 15, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 15, 2018 There is no way I want to be responsible for either vouching for people or holding their personal information. It's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geel Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 The entire idea of middlemen is antiquated and unnecessary. Backpack.tf is not going to vouch for anyone when we all know too well that everybody sucks. Use a website like Marketplace.tf or OPSkins (lmao).
