I have one question -  as I had to hear twice today that I only made two post in six months - is there a minimum number of post one has to make to be accepted here ? I have read many topics here during the last months, because i found them interesting and I learnt a lot from them and I will only post here if i think it makes sense. As a Newbie for me it is much more important to read and get knowledge  instead posting just to have a lot of topics posted. Tell me if I am wrong.

There is no such thing as a minumum number of posts required to make deals or something. The thing is, a newbie account is created in a few minutes. If someone has the intention to scam someone, it's more likely to do this through an account that has been made within minutes than doing this with a Hero Member account (like mine), which takes probably more than a year and many hours of activity on this forum as well as posts made on this forum.

This results in people trusting 'newbie', 'Jr member', 'member' accounts etc less than 'Sr member' or 'Hero member' accounts for instance. Together with this, you have not made a succesfull deal yet (based on your trust rating; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=396213).

More on topic, so I think escrow is needed if you want to make some sales and even then it might be hard to find buyers. However, everyone has to start from scatch on this forum. Goodluck!

If I had obtained these gift cards by fraud or any other illegal activity that would make the gift cards invalid/void I would be very stupid to offer escrow for this deal. Tell me if I am wrong.

Well, that's not really the case. In fact, you can sell for example Steam Gift Cards through an escrow. Once the buyer receives these cards (and thus the deal was successful), and uses them, Steam can still deduct the value of the Gift Card from your account once they find out it was obtained through fraud - for example when they were bought with credit card frauds.

In that situation the seller has received the money, and the buyers has nothing. I guess the only way to counter this problem is to let the escrow hold the funds for let's say some months.. but that is not a great way of doing business I guess.

Thank you for moving my topic.

Of course I acccept Escrow. There is no fixed price - offers by pm are welcome.

You're on the right place over here. Atleast, if you accept Escrow. Otherwise I think you are not likely to sell these digital goods (looking at your two posts made in half a year).

I guess you also have to somehow proof that these gift cards are not obtained by fraud. Also, state your prices, or are you offering personal deals through PM?
