You can PM any of the trade zone mod or staff to check on it. As the one you given here(topic link), there's nothing wrong with it. If you feel any particular thread is suspicious, just hit the report button. Duplicate account are always permaban when we spotted one within same thread.

^so you now know that he haven't sold the item. can you concluded this out?

1. There's possibility that something happen and deal not happen as earlier. Potential buyer might FFK or MIA. You cannot discard this scenario.

2. Seller use that as a tactic to hope to increase the bid offer, but we can't interrupt as we don't have access to their PM to check, and PM is not accessible to anyone as it is private and confidential.

3. Then why buy from the seller if you can found another seller that you can trust or offer a little more expensive than his?

4. Haven't you realize that most con-cases happen when buyer are desperate for the item and getting con because they are not taking precautions as they are desperate for it?



The thing we can do from our part of moderating would be checking out on your report on suspicious activity and proceed from there. If there's no case or nothing to suspect off, we'll move on with the reports. If there's activity like self talking, imitating sales which happen in trade zone section, both main account and duplicate account will be punished.

Likewise, if you are unhappy with his methods of trading, avoid it then. Why still want to purchase something from him/her when you can happily trading elsewhere with other member? His loss is your gain.
