Quick question about Auctions

[Scrap4memories]

Hi Everyone..there is so much info on this site I am completely overwhelmed. I want to buy coupons from auctions on this site however, I don't think I am allowed because I haven't traded yet. I, Unfortunately just don't have that kind of time, but I do want the option of buying auctions. Is there a way to get a rating without trading to show I am honest and on the up and up???? I will always use paypal and have used ebay for years and have a GREAT rating. Is there anyway to get around the trading first in order to get a rating?? Thanks so much

no. you have to trade to get a rating. that is the whole point of the itrader rating.

trades do include those that you just pay paypal for. so if you want 50 x coupons, and you find a trader who wants x in paypal for them, you send paypal and get your coupons...well that is a trade

Hi MotherofMolly....I wanted to bid on an auction that was a paypal auction but it wouldn't let me at all because I haven't traded yet. :( Thanks for the info :)

no you wont be able to bid on them without your 5 in trader status. you would have to trade for them in current trades. you will be surprised how quick you could trade for coupons in current trades for paypal. just post an ISO and post in that iso what you are willing to pay for them.

You have to trade first to show you're on the up and up. Trading is the first step in being allowed to bid on auctions. We're not an auction site like ebay, but auctions are a perk of being a trader here. You can also give away coupons (called RAOK - random act of kindness) and ask the recipient to be sure to give feedback.

Trading by sending paypal is one of the easiest ways to get an iTrader score. Check out the trading forums because a lot of the qs in auctions can be found in the trade forum as well.

Just wanted to add that you must also be a Trader in Training for 30 days. If you have 5 feedbacks at the end of 30 days, you'll be promoted to trader status & be able to auction.
