    Hi all.

    Just need some information on both services, safety-wise mainly. I am a verified PayPal member but since I got chargebacked last time I sold some stuff I am rather reluctant to take my chances again. Can anyone tell me if WU is safer as it is the impression I am getting while browsing the market section? How safe is an honest seller on WU?

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Sounds fairly good, how much higher are the transfer fees on WU? Although being the seller there are no charges incurred on me are there?

    edit:

    Also, does it work the same as PayPal that once the buyer sends the money to me I can just send them from my WU account to my bank account?

    I will be selling, so how is it easier to get scammed scam through WU with no chargebacks than through PayPal with chargebacks? I'm not scamming anyone so lets focus on the chances of me getting scammed through WU

    I think I will use WU guys, I am trustable, some of the oldtime/early diez players might remember me, I did a lot of trades back when I was selling my warryon and the only bad things that happened happened to me when I got scammed. Which I aint having again.

    Thx for your input agas.

    You don't incur any fees with WU if you are a seller. However, generally people who sell for W/U are people with better items. For example, if you are selling a rogue shell set +7, you probably won't sell it for WU since noone would want to buy it. Also, you would have to make adjustment in prices with WU. If you price is 80 dollars for something, remember the customer not only has to pay 80 dollars but also the WU fee which is $20 + depending on where you live.

    The WU fees are gay. I might consider doing PayPal for people of noble reputation then. I am now selling out ingame and will be selling GBs, do you think they're attractive enough for WU?

    Dont pay attention to the trustable section.

    If you dont know them in game and trust them then make them buy through WU.
