When selling a MQ I ask half up front and half on completion. If the MQ goes south we both walk away unhappy. For armor MQs I make sure they have the gems first by putting them in stacked in a trade window with me. If they don’t want to trust a geared level 60 to not risk their account in a scam, I just find another buyer. If I fuck up the MQ they get a full refund.
When buying a MQ I will pay up to half up front if the seller requests. If the MQ goes south I don’t ask for any money back unless the seller did some dumb shit like not having enough faction. For velious armor MQs I make sure the seller has faction via hail and text before we even get started. If they are a class that can wear the armor type they are MQing I ask them to physically equip it.
Most of the time a MQ goes south:
-the buyer messed up a thing like stacking gems or wrong gems
-faction wasn’t correct
-some 3rd pre-gave some component of the quest (big problem with Jboots)
True scams for MQs are uncommon.
Unless you’re trusting a level 5-10 anonymous lowbie to somehow magically have a HoT legs or BP for MQ sale ... it takes monumental degrees of stupidity to think people will routinely risk a permanent ban on the account for some paltry platinum.
I mean ... how much plat is enough to warrant risking the account of a geared Level 50+ toon?
