Hello there.

In the EUSCL service forums we are having a problem with the "level service trade" Basicly we are from what i've seen 5-6 dedicated level service people. And then there are the "new" guys.

They pop in and offer a level service for 10 fg that i'm charging 40 for. They are basicly making prices that I'm not willing to compete with. I market my level service on being reliable, having vouches, and sure i got some services under my belt. But for how long will i have costummers when these people keep undercutting like this? Soon the steady price will be 10 fg for 1-85.

How do you deal with undercutters like this?

Sucks for you.
Too small an economy to do anything.
Move realms.

If they are coming into your topic and posting their own level service vs 'xx' fg, report it to a trade assistant or trade moderator. If they are making their own topics with no association to you, that's fair.

Just ignore them. I myself have a high-price service and I still can get Forum Gold by doing the services I am supposed to do.
There isn't anything you can do about it


If you keep doing the services you do, you'll make a name for yourself.
People will tell other people and that's how you get more people to pay for your services

They are doing it in "LF level service" threads, or making their own topics. It's only been the last couple days theres been this tendency, i'm kinda hoping it's a trend that will die out.

Market yourself differently from the others.

Answer the question:
Why would people choose you over someone cheaper?

Highlighten that.

Other then that there's nothing you can do. That's how a market works.

Thank god people rather want a named person rather than a cheap one then \0/

Yup; I've been following my own prices for a long time now and have plenty of people buying. Even though there's cheaper available.

If you keep doing a consistent good job then you'll get to name your price.
