It doesn't add any time… that's why I suggested it in the first place. You pretty much do the same thing transferring, it's just that they give you all the money the first time and you go at it. My way, you just check in every so often and they pay you for the next bit.
Maybe I'm doing it all wrong then, because I spend at least 2 hours a day every day just talking to people and working deals out, trying to build trust in people, answering their questions, setting up their accounts and my accounts for the transfer (It takes quite a bit of time to set up.. The method isn't as simple as just a bug to remove the trade limit). And then, after finally convincing them, they change their mind/say they forgot they met a requirement.
Believe me, when it's real life cash you're working with, people like to talk to you quite a bit before just sending a stranger they don't know at all cash…
I just don't see how it doesn't add time. Selling a product doesn't only mean the actual exchange of a product for cash, it involves convincing people to buy the product. Unless you're really trusted, it takes time..
Maybe I make it too complicated, but I spend 5-6 hours a day on the computer for an average of $50 a day, and that's selling my own gp (pure profit). I'll have to post one of my convo logs with the next customer I get, because it's not just
Customer: Hi JAD
JAD: Hi. Ready to buy? [email]runescapemacro@hotmail.com[/email] is my paypal
Customer: ok sent. Here's my account deals.
JAD: Ok, will be done in an hour.
Although that's how you are making it seem..
They have paypal troubles, I have to walk them through it. I find out after they've sent the money that their paypal account actually wasn't verified, and I'm at risk of a chargeback. I ask them to send me an email from the paypal email address to confirm it's not a fraudulent/hacked paypal account, and it takes them 5-10 minutes to do that because they're busy. I have 10 other people messaging me asking if I take accounts, although I clearly stated I only take paypal cash. Then this guy claims he's more trusted than me and I should go first. This guy wants me to do a small transfer of 500k first to confirm I'm legit, so I have to spend 10 minutes setting up the transfer just to confirm trust in the guy. Although you are extremely busy, transferring money and trying to work out deals, you have past customers messaging you just to chat, and you do not want to be rude to them to ensure they come back to you in the future, so you have to explain why you can't talk and apologize. Then there's a guy bugging you on villavu.com about how your service sucks for no reason at all, he's not planning to sell anything to you at all, and you have to try to defend yourself in order to secure future gp for sales once I run out on my account.
Then they ask you for a confirmation pm on sythe to ensure you are actually JAD, but sythe's server is always going in and out because of upset hackers DDoSing the place, so you have to wait for that to load. Then you get people who after taking 5-15 minutes convincing them to buy from you, say they won't have paypal on their account for a few days, and then just end up not buying anything at all.
You have to go through a strict process using paypal (have them attach a message stating that they already received the goods and will not charge back, send an email from the paypal email address to confirm it's not fraudulent, if their paypal isn't verified you are at risk of charge back, you have to do background checks on their msn account if they are not verified to see if they have a history of scamming).
I'm sorry Robot, but if you're wrong on anything here, it would be when you said "It doesn't add any time…".
