He also said, that the negative trust had been added after he had bought the account(from a previous scam happened through the account).
To which Quickseller suggested:
I bought it for .8BTC, then the neg trust was added. Though, the neg trust was not caused by me. I was sort of stuck in the middle, and was ripped off in a sense.
So:
1. I bought the account
2. Shortly after neg trust was added from the previous owners "business"
3. Stuck with a negative trust account
Sort of my fault for not realizing that the owner of the account was conducting shady business on it.

Who did you buy it from? Have you tried messaging the person(s) who gave the account negative trust to let them know of the situation to see if they will remove it? (it was suggested to me that I buy the account and then do the same, however I do not plan on doing so)So:
1. I bought the account
2. Shortly after neg trust was added from the previous owners "business"
3. Stuck with a negative trust account

However, I would advice everyone who give/gave a negative trust to someone, not to remove the negative trust because the account was now sold. Anyone could possibly take advantage of this. The scammer, could set up the scam, create fake messages and transactions before scamming, and then scam.
After getting the negative trust, he could contact the person who gave the trust saying that he had bought the account, and show the message log from history, which would be before the scam happened, and if the negative trust was then removed, then the same account could be used for scamming again, or be sold. The scammer could get away, even being a Hero Member(incase the trust was remove).
If you happen to be buying an account, then its your responsibility to make sure the account was not involved in any scams, and get the escrow to hold the funds upto 10 days after you bought the account, incase the negative trust comes on it, after you buy it.
Again, this is only to be cautious and not allowing scammers an opportunity to get away.
It was also not meant to be against Quickseller, I just read the reply, and thought why it won't be a good idea to allow that.
Happy new year and Be safe
