Search Options ►Cross Site Trading: PSA
Site Update
This is another PSA about cross site trading (trading Aywas content for content on other sites).
There is a rising amount of scamming being done regarding cross site trading. This generally involves trade with a site that does not have very good customer service for scams.
If you are doing any trading for Aywas stuff, tell the person with the Aywas content to send it first. If they are offering you GP, items, pets, etc. for your off-site stuff, you must ask them to send it first for both parties to be completely protected. Otherwise, if you send your off-site items/pets/etc first, and that person does not have the content to send you, you will not be able to receive any assistance from Aywas Staff.
Unfortunately a number of sites do not protect their users or recover scammed materials so make sure you get your Aywas content in your account first before you send off any offsite content.
Aywas staff CANNOT HELP YOU if you lose your stuff offsite. And if the offsite staff is not helpful, you will lose out completely. Be proactive and trade safely by asking for Aywas content first.

It's sad to know there's people from this awesome site scamming. But thanks to this awesome site, we are protected. -sighs- This is why I love Aywas.

This is why most of the websites I play do not allow off-site trading at ALL. It is just too risky to do and is too much of a hassle to sort out when a trade goes sour. :c

The people that Daddy Goose mentioned - I also have worked with them and they are very reliable. They send the GP first, THEN you send treasure. They got it down pat. I haven't personally worked with Daddy Goose since I usually work with Jingaxi or Ryou. :D

Thank you again for all of your help. I actually did have a trade issue and the staff helped me get it all straightened out thank goodness!
There are many reputable peeps out here on Aywas - I've traded with most of the people mentioned here that are safe -- including Goose who has awesome customs!! :D

I hope it's just a few people compared to everyone else doing this. I'm sorry for anyone who got burned.

It makes me feel very upset that a message like this even has to be said, let alone so many times in such a short amount of time. But I am grateful that the Aywas staff is at least looking out for us rather than just saying something like "Well, you were stupid enough to try it" like some sites have.

J.A.K. (#15) - I'm sorry to be asking this more than a week later, but I'm still a little confused on how this scam-protection really works in some circumstances? What would happen in the case of someone lying about receiving their off-site goods? Say they send GP over to buy something off-site and following the trade the buyer then lies and reports the selling Aywas user for scamming?

I was gonna say about the same as NightWolf. Especially because this is much different from the last PSA announcement about this :( ~Kat
