Question for the older vets,

How does one get into selling bitcoins without getting called a scammer for being new?

Exchanges are great for trading bitcoin, find an altcoin that has some value, theres a few around with great potential for the future.  however they are up and down i price mostly because they take steps forward every few months and on this news they sometimes double in price for a week or two whilst everyone jumps in.  then they die back again for a couple months and this is when i buy again.

If people don't trust you saying you as a new ask them to use escrow for deal or you can sell bitcoin easily via local bitcoins where site will work as escrow Service.

If you trade your coins through an exchange that won't be an issue! You won't get scammed but you will need to take care of your security. Always have your 2FA activated.

nice question, as all said first you have to rank up and do some goods trading and gain some reputation and learn how to trade here because their are so many scammers who will scam you. so when ever you trade use escrow serivce from the reputed escrows. and if you want to buy from exchange then , i am using localbitcoins.com for buying and selling of bitcoins, apart from their their are so many exchanges who are in this business. if you follow the all rules of this forum then no one will  call you a scammer.

As already mentioned to gain trust it`s matter of time and behaviour. You can trade on any exchange anomyously. To start trade here on Bitcointalk you need to learn and follow some rules. First is to use escrow and do not trust any one who can`t prove what he is saying. This is business.
Good luck.

use escrow or send first to the other, and earn initial trust, then when you have  abunch you can be considered safe

i've started the same, i've sold some altcoin at the beginning at some forum member, then some miner and contracts with other for renting

Selling Bitcoin should probably only be done with trusted people if you are converting it.

The best way is build a reputation with buying and selling items and services. Use an escrow if you are not confident with the person you are buying from is reputable. It is a small cost and is a great insurance to you.

see...it is about trusting one another.. and it is hard to trust a newbie.. as it is quite frequent that a newbie is trying to scam someone.. so if you are fair.. the most important thing you should do is be open for an escrow.. and avoid payment methods that can be reversible.. such as Paypal..skrill..neteller.. and you should be good to go..!

There are many reasons one might be called a scammer, but yeah I would just stick to exchange sites for the easiness of the transaction for yourself. Plus you have to realize why it's hard to sell bitcoins in general on here, because any type of payment system like PayPal can easily be reversed, while Bitcoin transactions are finalized once sent.

Sell on exchange.

Or, verify sufficiently that someone on LBC feels confident enough in buying from you.
