Hmmm... Carbonite, tried selling stuff there. Had an extremely negative experience. Don't think I'll use Carbonite ever again.

Was ok for me until i got banned due to the admins being sorta anal... no i didn't scam anyone
But then I found greener pastures @MyGaming

So I'm happy, since the guys in my area who sell on carbonite now know me so we whatsapp each other anyway

The problem is "You need 'reputation' to sell", buy you can't sell without a high enough 'reputation' and you can only build 'reputation' by selling. So seeing that you have no "reputation" you are called out as a "scammer", "con artist" and "chancer"

Which is why I decided to not use Carbonite, I only sell on Scumtree now and I don't ship jack shit. Pick it up from from me at a predetermined location and pay me cash.

Did you use the same avatar on Carbonite as here? I too will be hesitant to buy from somebody with a blood dripping shark as the image they choose to associate themselves with
