Require Pricing For Sale Of Accounts

Describe the problem: a large majority of threads in the marketplace of this site, require you to join someones discord, sometimes verify yourself with a captcha and such, possibly even link your discord to some random bot they have decided to use, just to see the pricing of an account for sale. Its tiresome looking for accounts.
What current rule(s) tackle this problem: False or Misleading Advertising:

• Your market threads must be accurate and updated promptly to reflect your actual prices/offers.

Explain the change: Require account sellers to provide pricing for their accounts. This would be like walking into a supermarket, and just guessing what the price was until you went to the counter.
Explain why this change will fix the problem: It would require sellers to keep an accurate price of their accounts.
Side-effects: Changing prices of accounts could take some time. However, I feel like if you are wanting to make money off this site, the little effort it takes would be worth the money.

 

It comes down to listing prices as an option. If you choose to list a price it must be updated/accurate, but not required as some sellers have an array of services and keeping up with pricing would be a little hectic.

I do agree it would save a lot of time for buyers, but as you can see below this has been shot down several times.

I agree! I never join the discords if they don’t have the price listed, it’s fucking annoying, I feel like they lose sales not listing the price. Any account I’ve bought they had price listed on thread such as @Corby and @Lucky Charm .

 

Agree !

I was looking to buy some gp but everytime I can't see the price I need to join their discord! Put your god damn price in the description.

 

Im not even mad im trying to agree with OP that people should post prices but i also agree with Zora that if people want to do that they are more than welcome to shoot themselves in the foot during the race. I was making a subtle joke about Lucky Charm copying my format and that its a compliment because we were the only 2 people mentioned for actually running a good store with prices listed.

 

what pisses me off is people who list “sample accounts” and don’t even have the fucking account they are listing.

 

No support.
All accound sellers that make more than 4$ a month have like 100+ different account builds with daily stock/inventory changes.

It's easier to just post an example without a price than to update 10 topics daily, and annoy mods with slight inaccuracies due to daily changes.



I'd compare it with requiring to have accurate gold prices on your topics. Literally no one with more than 4 brain cells left is going to rot their brains updating the prices every few hours for 10 daily views on their topic.

 

Support I’ve made this same recommendation before

 

Waste of time imo, if forced to list prices they will post high numbers and say negotiable etc

 

So you are not in support, because it may take effort for a seller to change their pricing?

Again, I would like to point to this thread :
https://www.sythe.org/threads/a-stricter-enforcement-of-the-false-advertising-rule/

The rules specifically state that sales/purchase threads must be ACCURATE and updated promptly to reflect your actual PRICES/OFFERS.

Users not posting prices, or available stock, is not following this rule. The threads are not accurate, and do not reflect the actual prices of accounts. While I get it may take some time, if someone is wanting to run a business selling things on this site, it seems only fair for them to list their current prices.

I will again compare it to going to the supermarket, and not knowing the price of anything until you go to the check-out counter. Every business in the world has to accurately change their prices on all of their selling avenues, so why is sythe any different?

 

I support this big time, but it'll be way too easy to bypass it and unless there's a hero checking each discord to make sure they actually have the accounts in stock / selling them for the price they advertise they'll continue to get away with it. - along with auto bumping a thread they don't have the proper stock for.

A lot of the "discord severs" that advertise accounts have a bullshit image likely screenshotted off of a google image and when you join the server they don't have "said" account but a bunch of random other ones.

Something that should be suggested / mandated is WHO creates these accounts and how they were trained. Do I want an account that was created by some venny and botted up along with 10 other accounts that will be banned in the first week after I buy it? absolutely not. But even if that's reported the discord servers get away with it cause "ban happened after sale"

the rules in place are 90% bullshit and always favor the 500$+ donors.

 

If you're advertising your business somewhere, will you post your entire stock with prices on the advert, when you have 200+ products for sale? Or just link them to your store with an example?

 

Discord is not a store though. Making people join your discord would be like the store forcing you to sign up for an account with them before you can see what is available.
