Because of the "Double sided scam", when people ask me to PM, I always copy the whole conversation instead of just "hi", this way they can see if they're talking to wrong person or not.

And good topic!

nice guide,helps a lot for everyone,i did most of them, and i think there are some things important when you are taking payment by paypal:
be aware of those unregistered paypal acc(pay by card directly) and unverified paypal acc, easy to get scammed by those guys,cause of stoken/hacked paypal acc ,or just prepared scam, they pay by credit card through paypal,they can call their card company to chargeback ,vitual item trade is not protected so money will be returned easilily.

What if i ask the high reputated buyer to send me a pm like "Right now I'm talking with id:cevaps on the Skype, so this is not a double-sided scam."? Does it protect me from double-sided scam?

Btw, whoever found this double-sided scam is the new age *****ian prince / 419. He's smart, lol.

I would not call that smart. Just people are being stupid for falling for *****ian scam tricks. And double sided scams are same thing. If the guys that wanted to buy something actually checked the profile it would be easy to take out the impostors. By right clicking their name and going to show profile. There is no point in verifying on ownedcore and thinking you got the right person.
