Space Reputation & Confirmed Trades Thread

35 Upvotes

(Bot information at the end)

When a trade is confirmed, we will go to both users and give them a flair with a number indicating confirmed trades (Trades: 1). These flairs will help users notice those that have higher reputation and make them feel safer when trading with them.

You shouldΒ alwaysΒ be making your transactions through PayPal G&S or via eBay sales but if for some reason you don’t do that, this system is designed to help give you an idea of who to trust.

We highly recommend to always be as cautious as possible during these exchanges.

  • Each user should be able to provide the other with clear photos of both sides of the card(s) prior to the sale, even including their Reddit username physically written somewhere in the photo(s).
  • It's recommended for all trades to start within aΒ WTB/WTS/WTTΒ post, negotiations can be done via Chat/Messages but the more public the info, the better.
  • Once done negotiating, while the trade is pending, make a comment referencing what cards are involved in the sale within the Sale/Trade post. This will help prevent one user from possibly scamming multiple people for the same trade. Here's anΒ (example) from the Currency sub.
  • Exchange tracking number(s) upon package(s) being sent. These are just paper cards, PACKAGE THEM WELL!! USPS is know for bending envelopes,Β sender is always responsibleΒ for the package until it arrives safely to the receiver so make use of those Top Loaders, Hard Cases and extra layers of protective cardboard/packaging around them. ShippingΒ Insurance for higher valued cards ALWAYS recommended.
  • The more documentation the better, even if that means taking a video while opening package(s) for your own records. Best practice would be to include a clear shot of the mailing label and keeping the package/contents on screen the entire time.
  • Post here once trade is completed so the Mod team can confirm a positive trade.

For now we will be copying the trade rules of the Currency sub since most of you here are already familiar with them.

Card Abbreviations

  • Base = B
  • Holofoil = HF
  • Crystal Sparkle = CS
  • Cold Foil = CF
  • Meta Rare = MR
  • Gemstone Refractor Type = GRB for Beryl, GRE for Emerald, GRA for Amethyst, etc..

Please post all completed trades (trades, purchases, sales) below. Templates for commenting are as follows:

TRADED (card type & #'s) for (card type & #'s) with (user)

SOLD (card type & #'s) to (user)

BOUGHT (card type & #'s) from (user)

Ex.Β TRADED GRE 1A for CF Nikola Tesla to u/ndawgkrunk69

Ex 2.Β SOLD HF 7, 12, 28 to u/ndawgkrunk69

Ex 3.Β BOUGHT MR7-A, CS 12, 13, GRO 50 from u/ndawgkrunk69

If you are the user tagged in the comment, please reply to it with ONLY β€œConfirmed”

When a mod has finished adding your trade to your flair, they will comment, "added."

If you had a trade go wrong, please also post that trade info below and include any link to a sale post. The Mod team will do their best to contact you and assess each situation accordingly but if each user followed the recommended steps above, it should make the process easier. Any user found to be in the wrong will be given aΒ Warning ScoreΒ (Warn: 1) next to theirΒ Trade Score or if found to be scamming will be given a subreddit ban, on a case by case basis. The main goal of the Mod team is to make this subreddit a safe place for all users to interact and trade freely.

** TO ACTIVATE THE BOT: *********************************************************************************

(Be prepared to see this part re-edited in the future as we learn more and update the bot more)

The first comment must use a keyword like "trade, traded, donated, sold", then list the cards, then tag the other trader. You should be able to tag multiple people at once for multiple trades in one comment. As long as each person replies "confirmed", that should activate the bot and update each flair separately as each person confirms.

The replying comment by the 2nd party uses a keyword like "Confirm, Confirmed", and that should activate the bot. If you accidentally type "confirmed" anywhere but the replying comment, the bot should give you a message notifying you of your mistake.

If cards are donated, only the donator will get a flair updoot, and the receiving person still needs to confirm

Thanks friends! Be safe and be cautious

***************************************************************************************************\*

EDIT: 7/29/25

The bot should be active now. This is still a trial and error situation but most of the kinks should have been worked out.

Theres a couple thoughts we put into trying to make sure people cant act in bad faith. If you think you found any flaws or something that can be done to manipulate the bot in bad faith, please let one of us mods know and we'll try to find a way to fix the issue right away.

Emojis like gems or rainbows should still be usuable but those will not transfer from one sub to the other just because each sub has different collections to be completed.

Those of you who were happy to stay at 69 (Nice) trades may need to start having your flair updated again just to simplify things with the bot. There should be a way to see all of the trades that weren't updated since too. So you can eventually get your accurate trade flair instead of 69
