I received email from a person asking me to sell my DP account for $500. What do you think this guy wants. Why does he want my account. Is it legal to sell a DP account? Does DP allow this?

Naww.. it's not legal. He's probably wanting to use it and scam others as you've got relatively high post counts and some sort of established reputations here with over 10 itraders.

glad you've not taken up the offer :)

I think selling your account is not possible

Can people stop using the word 'illegal'?? It is not against the law (i.e illegal) to sell a DP account. It is against DPs rules though, which means you will get banned if you try and sell your account.

Against DP rules, but not illegal.

That's ridiculous!
It's only worth $100 tops!

It isn't illegal (as in you don't break any laws) but it isn't allowed.

If we cant sell accounts. How did you know the worth?

Dec 24th 2007, 8:54 am
Because anyone can make an estimate with your low itrader and low post count its not really worth much although somone could get away with scamming on your account

Make the presumption yourself

Sounds a bit different. But, I've a doubt here. How did he estimate your account for $500? Instead, he can just hire a guy for $50 to make 500 posts in DP and pay $5 to 10 DP users to get 10 iTrader so that he can save $400 (lol, I'm not giving idea to anyone here :P). ven123, hope you're not lying or planning to sell your account :)

$500 for a DP account? Is this for real? I can't imagine the value of some of the DP accounts which are more than few thousand posts...

If the email came through your DP account then it would have that member’s user name in it. So go ahead and post that and let every one know who it is.

First of all, It is against the rules to sell the account.
Second of all, This ISNT the proper section to post something for which you need advice or help of some sort. This is only for "BUYING" and " SELLING " and ofcourse " TRADING".

Please contact the mods and close the thread, And if you still have questions. Open one in general talk :).

Thank you.

I am gazing into my magic crystal ball and asking it who sent the "email"...

All I can see in it is the letter V,E and N flashing in different colours. Think there might be some numbers after that also. Not sure though, the auld ball's been giving a bit of trouble recently. Got it serviced, but dunno if it's working.

Maybe the letters V,E and N make sense to others here? Or should I try the damn ball out? :)

To Your First Question: Hmmm... is it breaking any LAWS!?! :rolleyes:
To Your Second Question: Probably not. But I don't see why they wouldn't allow it considering they seem to allow DP members to sell their sig space, avatar space, recent blog space, location space and whatever else. :confused:

Ok guys, we get the whole not 'illegal' joke. Its been done.

Btw:

If he emailed you through your DP account he probably already knows you're going to report him. He's probably monitoring your account.

1) It's not legal according to the DP rules.
2) No1 would pay you that much with CLEAN money. Probably he was going to pay with dirty PayPal or use any other combination to leave you without money and your account.

You sure about that?! I think eLSeo would disagree: LOL.

That dosen't get dicussed. A rule was broken, thats all that gets your banned for.

He was "supposed" to have a second account, although he doesn't.
If you get banned it doesn't mean you deserved it.. Not always at least..
That's my opinion at least..
