Hi,

First, i like to thank you for any advice. Im new to d2jps as you can see, and im having trouble with trade. I dont have fg yet because looks like people dont trust me (or forgot the existence of mediators).

I mean, every trade topic i make = 0 reply. No lowball offers. Nothing. The bad part is that i post good things, like 20life/10cr SC (traded for a ber ingame, not via forum), perfect 20/20 assassin torch and almost perfect non-eth arreat's (199ed 6ll). All on USEast ladder.

Im considering the solutions:
1- PM trusted members with lowball item offers, and give the item first. They can re-sell and profit from it. The bad part is: If they scam me, im in a bad position.
2- Make my posts with something like "Mediation is required for that trade to happen", *and actually require this* so people can believe im NOT a scammer. The bad part is that theory works diferently from real things. I can't believe that all trades made here are mediated due to the number of trades happening all the time. If im wrong, sorry for this and thanks to the mediators for the HARD work!

I really need some advice on this. Thank you for any reply, or at least, for reading.

Sorry for my bad english.

Your English is fine.

First off, mediation is not required, but is HIGHLY recommended. A lot of people look to take advantage of newer users, so my suggestion is for you to use a Mediator in all trading situations.

Just be patient with your trades. Someone will eventually come along and see what you have to offer.
Try and learn the prices for items so you know what prices to take, what to ignore etc.

Good luck, welcome to D2jsp :P

:Hello: Hello and welcome to the forums, I'm Austin

Diablo II is a dying game and trading through it will be sometimes hard, just be patient and you will find someone to buy your items or sell you items you need.

Since you are still new I suggest you read these links to help you trade here.

@Skywalker

As Austin said, Diablo2 is at end and maybe mediators can be busy with big trades. From now and on ill get your advice and always request a mediator to conclude a trade. Ill include this on the topic info. If they are busy with more important things, i can wait. You got the point that im new and can easy be scammed without a moderator, and im sure that who read my topics think the same. Thats why i get no replys.

@Austin

You are right. I have been reading a lot since i joined and i just need to be patient ans you say. Ty for the links ;)

Thank you both!
