I have seen that so many greedy/careless buyer or whatever you want to call them, bank in money recklessly to some stranger.

Of course I'm not talking about small amount, it involved amount ranging from RM0 - RM5000.

So I was thinking, if I opened a middleman services with minimal charges, perhaps it could curb this problem slightly.

Perhaps with the cost of like this.

RM1 - RM500 = RM20
RM500-RM1000 = RM30
RM1000 above = RM40

What do you think about this idea?

For those who get conned before, since you so willingly banked in such large amount to stranger, why don't you pay some extra for me

All in all, this is just merely a suggestion, please do vote. If it approved by majority, then perhaps I will open up this services.

Please add on, any suggestion that you think could improve the security in Lowyat.Net. We all wanted to improve this place for better future for new and old customer altogether.

Try not to flame in this thread unless it's necessary.

If success in can i join your business as patner?

If it was a success, I would really prefer someone that I knew personally as it is safer. I hope you can understand that.

Maybe in future, yeah

tradin section afaik is for d convinience of all to sell some 2nd hand stuff n etc, it never meant for trading.

it could not b somethin like lelong.com, coz this forum is never meant to b.

moreover, who is willing to do d codin to implement d so call middleman? its invovle lots of time + no salary.

i never buy stuff from newbie UNLESS i noe how honest he is by lookin at his history post. sometimes, we r too arrogant to even check wat topic he ever created / post b4.

haha nice try bro.....maybe it will work. just maybe

1) There is a reason why I put down a charge for the item value(commision). I am offering the services, which is why I have post here for suggestion.

2) As trading section have improved tremendously(it is always 1000+ online views), it is not only for selling second hand items. So much high value item is involved.

3) This services is never meant to be conducted on large scales, most probably ranging three to five shipment at a time. This will prevent overloading and confusion.

4) The only issue here is, trust issue from buyer, and seller. Someone got to sacrificed and become lab rat for this

5) Not everyone is as cautious as you or some other people. Some are just too greedy to be blunt. This wouldn't happen so many times in dispute if this problem does not occur so frequently.

Hope that solved most of the issue you are stating above

ermm...u can try, but i couldnt really see wats d function of this middleman.lol..

its onli usefull if d admin make this as compulsory


IMHO, d trade zone needs more trade enforcer who always lurkin n monitorin topics randomly to spot any suspected con case n etc...

What kind of guarantee or comfort can I get from you for big amount of money that is to be placed in your custodian? What will make me think that you will not run away with large amount of money? What kind of confidence do I get?

No offence, just some serious question...

1) This is based on trust as I have stated. How big amount of money can be compensated for reputation that I have built for so long?

2) Many people have known me face to face, but obviously this is not enough.

3) To make this work, one of the mods can most probably hold all my information privately and if deem necessary, people can easily track me down.

4) People tend to blindlessly bank in money to stranger anyway, at least reduce the risk by transacting through me right? This service is completely optional, so nobody is force to use it.
