TraL Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 If you send the Key first, they are almost zero risk to be the target of a cash back attack (because they already have the keys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominant Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Only do cash trading with people with significant reputation on that specific account, do NOT count reputation on “alt accounts”. Also, make sure their inventory value is fairly high. Meaning they have more to lose if they scam. Feel free to share the profile of the guy you’re planning on trading with. We can do a quick background check Flaim and Crog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Cash trading websites are the more safe but more expensive option. Keys from player-player trading can be up to like 20% cheaper. In player-player cash trading, the person with the least rep/cashrep is expected to go first (send cash/keys first). You have a credit card, but you probably want some time of online payment transfer tool. Previously, this used to pretty much only be paypal, but these days there are more options. Paypal, venmo, and zelle are the most popular methods for cash transfers. Crypto is also a viable option that often is a speck cheaper. If you visit our cash trading thread, you can see market price at the moment and some reputable buyers/sellers (mostly buyers usually though). Let us know if you need a background check on someone you plan to trade with. Rainy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard way of cash trading doesn't involve credit cards whatsoever. I was gonna write a big ol paragraph of things to watch out for, how to legit-check your buyer, and the pros and cons of certain payment platforms.. but fuck all that Dude, you have 1900 keys. Don't mess around with random unverified buyers. Sell it on a site and take the fee loss, OR sell to a reputable key buyer within the community. There are price moderators and other big traders that have key flipping businesses where you can sell to them for more than you'd net from a site like marketplace. They'll pay you via paypal. I dont care if you think their rate seems low, take it. Better to get 95% of expected value than 0%, always Join the backpack.tf discord, go to #trade-adverts, and find a key buyer in there that has a huge backpack and tons of reputation from years of trading Don't get scammed. I will point, laugh, and kick you while you're down if you do. Apo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strife Hale Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Careful with this guy, that commented on your profile about keys. His account is suspicious and is also linked to another account, as Wayne said (probably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, it's my first time and i don't know how it works, that's why i said "credit card" only after making this, i understood that there's only bank transfer can be. Also i'm trading with this guy: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198043858325 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
