Even when I started trading, I was accused of many things but it takes time here to earn a good reputation and you need to sell legal gift cards which is the major reason, members out here don't trust newbies. I never send first even if the member is trusted as people buy and sell their accounts out here but still it is on a case-to-case basis.

you need to boost your activity first, then you can start trading, trade directly with users that have already gained a green status, in this way you can boost your trust faster

I'm trying to gain a reputation for trading e-currency and vouchers on this forum and a few others. I want to go first with verified members, but I will end up losing money instead of making it like I plan to. I aim to offer all the same services as most other verified traders; despite this, no one trusts me yet to make my first set of transactions unless I go first, yet verified traders will only stick to their own profitable rates so I don't end up making a profit from my endeavors.

Is there a way to speed up the verification process while still making a viable profit? I have already tried to offer my feedback on another site as leniency towards confidence in my trading ability. I somehow ended up with a -6 rating already due to a misinterpretation on my first post.

Sorry but reputation is just that.  Basically you will need your account to be Senior Member or above, and when newbies trade with you, you can ask them to send first, and not rip them off.  You will get positive trust left by them and soon enough you will be able to trade more often and will more established members of the board.

I have traded with people quite a few times, I have sent first and received first, but I have no reputation here.  It is a bit of a catch 22 with trust, I don't trust you so I won't trade with you so you can't gain trust!  Do you know anyone on the board personally, maybe they could vouch for you?

No one here is "verified"

but I will end up losing money instead of making it like I plan to.

Why? If you can only trade without making profit you would essentially buying trust, which will get you the oposite of what you want.

Why would anyone trust you? You are new here or maybe you are not, but the account is new. Newbie are usually considered untrustworthy until proven otherwise. Its to easy too create a new account.

You talk about verification and I think our understanding of the word is different. Verification would be to send someone your ID. Or you do someting else to make us believe you own it. You could e.g. sign a message with a private key for a bitcoin address to verify that you own it. I dont see what this has to do with your profit margin.

Contact Quickseller, explain the misunderstand and show that you are the 1% of honest newbies we get here. They will not remove the rating just because of your words, but because of your actions. Scammers just make a new account, sit it out, use escrow.

I understand you want to be trusted - which usually is a warning sign for a long con - yet there are no shortcuts. Unless you can bring in some reputation you have to start fresh. Keep in mind that repuation elsewhere might only be worth some trust for a few.

You could trade normally and always use escrow. Reputation will come naturally, don't ever attempt to buy feedback. You'll get negative ones for free. I see you're selling vouchers, are you selling any Amazon gift cards?

It is considered very unethical to try to speed up the increase of your reputation.
