Siding With Scammers?
I used to use this site to both buy and sell for everything. I had a decent amount of rep too. Never had anyone say I did them wrong, just an honest buyer and seller. One day I sold a Marvel Snap account and the buyer went off and said I was logging into the account and using his in game resources to buy things in the game. An accusation that doesn't even make sense. I sold the account cause I was no longer interested, why would not have just bought things when the account was in my possession? Doesn't make any sense and I didn't do it. Well the buyer raised a dispute over it, only showed that I was logged into the email around transfer time and EpicNPC wanted me to reimburse the buyer for $107. I said no, because no evidence was provided and it was a false claim, so because I said no they banned my account even though "Trade with Caution" exists instead. When you get banned the entire site goes blank with a message that says youve been banned, no clear way to try and dispute. Now here is where I did mess up, I created an alternate account, and guess what? I continued being an honest buyer and seller, started getting my rep back up. Eventually a payment trigger flagged and I was banned again, here is where I saw you can raise a dispute, so I did. They stated they took making another account as an admission of guilt (which it doesnt) so I went down doing it the right way now, and I asked more about why I have to pay for something I never did, but eventually I gave way and I agreed to pay the $107 just so I can have access. They reached out to the person who scammed me and gave me the info to send him the money. I did under the agreement that once paid I will be unbanned. Its been almost 72 hours of me reaching out for any updates or any communication to only be met with radio silence. I also provided proof that I paid what was requested. I'm not sure what made them take his side with no evidence. But now I am out my account, and $107. The scammers have won this round. Don't be like me. P.S. Just for clarity, I wasn't given any info on how to get into their website to appeal anything so when I went to reach out one last time for info, I created one last account with the sole purpose of reaching out to an admin for help since there is no help anywhere else. I was given a final warning that any more accounts created will lead to a permanent ban with no appeal. I even asked if I could just log in once very quick just to get some info on an account I had already PURCHASED. Still only silence, I fear I've been scammed twice. EDIT: I was made to pay the fee, and then wait to see if the scammer would confirm payment, which of course being a scammer he wouldn't confirm. So I was then made by EPICNPC to make a video proving I paid (which is one of the few things here I didn't have a problem with). After all that I was finally unbanned. Still had to pay a scammer which sucks.
