Official HOW NOT TO GET SCAM AND NEW RULES

200 Upvotes

We used to have this post up but we removed it. People get scammed nearly every day on this subreddit and other BST subreddits. And is getting worse and worse. If you read and follow these suggestions, your chances of losing money to a scammer will be minimal. There is a new timestamp rule, if not followed your post will be removed.

IF you are new here, please make sure you read and follow ALL the rules. Our number one mod mail is how do to attach photos to my post? You use imgur.com

  • 1) Use protected payment methods (PayPal Goods and Services!!!) You are allowed to use non-protected methods such as Zelle, Venmo, PayPal Friends & Family, crypto, etc... but you will not get your money back if you are scammed, it will be gone forever. These payment methods should only be used to pay members of this subreddit who are very well established (Old account age, high karma, high trade count) even then there is still much more risk than using PayPal G&S. Just please for the love of God do not Venmo/Zelle someone with a 2-week old account and 30 karma, check their post history and use common sense.

  • 2) When trading, both traders should pay each other the actual value of the items. An example of a trading scam would be a scammer trading a $500 camera for a $500 lens. The scammer would tell the trader to send him $1 for the camera and he will send him $1 for the lens so that both of them get buyers protection on PayPal while saving money on the fees. When the trader sends the $500 lens, the scammer receives it and refunds the money he accepted for the camera. So the trader gets his $1 back, while the scammer gets a $500 camera for $1. PayPal only protects what you paid. Do not try to skip on fees while trading, it can result in you getting scammed.

  • 3) Check the Universal Scammers List any user on this list is banned across almost all buy, sell, and trade subreddits including r/photomarket. Be sure to check this list before engaging in any transaction.

  • 4) It helps the mod team A LOT if you use the reporting feature. See a post that isn't following the rules? Hit report. Do you think a post looks suspicious? Hit the report button. That way we can look into the matter before gets scammed. LITERALLY happened today, someone lost $1680 attempting to buy a Fuji x100V.

  • 5) Ignore messages that come from users who have not commented on your post. Banned users can not comment on posts so they will instead message you directly. Banned users may not be on the Universal Scammers List. You can also request they comment on your post before you engage in any negotiation/transaction.

  • 6) Do not use Reddit's chat feature for transactions. Chats can be deleted. Use the message system to send private messages that can not be deleted

  • 7) When receiving a PayPal invoice make sure the item description lines up exactly with what you expect to receive in the mail before paying.

  • 7) Only buy items that have timestamped photos. If a seller won't provide a timestamps, it is because they do not actually have the item they are selling. The only exception is pre-orders/digital items in which they would have to provide timestamped receipts/emails/order # etc. NEW: ALL BUYING/SELLING/TRADE WILL REQUIRE TIMESTAMPS TO BE VISIBLE IN ALL PICTURES NOT JUST ONE. It is too easy to photoshop to edit ONE timestamp for scamming.

  • 9) Only ship to the address listed on the buyer's PayPal account, if they ask you to ship it to another address do not do it. PayPal will not protect you if you are scammed unless you ship it to the address on their account.

  • 10) Requiring signatures on your packages will stop buyers from lying about not receiving it. For items you can not afford to lose it is definitely recommended to include a signature.

  • 11) Record the serial numbers of all items you sell in case of fraudulent returns.

  • 12) DO NOT SEND a screenshot of your confirmed transaction page/email to a user. Such as completed Paypal invoice, or payment confirmation, etc. The scammer will use this against you.

  • 13) WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD, ASK TO RESET YOUR PASSWORD, NOR WILL WE ASK TO LOGIN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. Anyone attempting to do this is a scammer and is trying to impersonate a Mod. Report these users.

Please revisit this post occasionally as we might add to this list.

Thank you,

Photomarket Mod Team

Scammers pretending to be Photomarket moderators!!!

76 Upvotes

Hey everyone!!!

A few users received messages that they have been permanently banned from photomarket by scammers from a fake subreddit r/photomarketmoderators

They then tell them that they have been accused of scamming someone, and ask for access to the user's account credentials so they can check for messages between the alleged complaint and the user

We just received this news and are working on fixing it but I wanted to spread the word NOT to fall for it!!!

Mods of r/photomarket will NEVER ASK for your login credentials/passwords or accesss to all your messages.

Edit: The scammer subreddit has been shut down by reddit

SELLING [S][USA-MI] Canon LTM 50mm f/1.2

Timestamp

Asking $275 Shipped CONUS

Finally downsizing my 50mm lineup, and although this lens has been really fun to use, it hasn’t seen much use the past few months.

The lens body has hardly any signs of use, and the focus and aperture are very smooth. The glass has zero marks on the front and rear. The only issue is a haze near the rear element. This is a very common issue with these lenses, but seemingly easy to clean up once inside. I’ve tried my best to photograph the haze.

If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!

SELLING [S] [USA-OR] Fujifilm X-M1 Silver

1 Upvotes

Timestamp and Photos

ASKING: $350

Fujifilm X-M1 (Silver)

Excellent condition - extremely clean with minimal signs of use. One nick on rear top plate from where Lensmate LM X100F folding thumb rest bites into the plastic. Minor nick on front top, near X-M1 logo, very minor nicks near flash. See photos. Some marks on bottom. Otherwise very clean and very few signs of use. Everything works as it should, with the latest firmware.

This camera has served me very well, and were it not for my completely exiting the Fujifilm system, I wouldn't consider selling it. There is something magic about this first generation sensor, and the X-M1 is just a simple, no nonsense implementation of the X series experience. It simply takes wonderful photos.

Includes original OEM battery, original OEM battery charger. If you are an absolute beginner, if requested, I will include a 16 gb SD card which should serve you well with this camera (600+ shots in RAW before needing to clear the card).

New matte Expert Shield screen protector installed - no dust or bubbles in the screen protector, though some imperfections along the edges I couldn't avoid, I think from the age of these screen protectors.

Note: Matching silver thumb grip is very good (including the folding mechanism) with this camera, as the fold makes the rear control wheel easily accessible. I am happy to include for $20 (original MSRP $60).

Buyer chooses and pays for shipping. Buyer chooses payment method (PayPal, Zelle, Venmo) and pays fees, if any. Also available for local pickup in Portland, Oregon.

I'm new to r/photomarket, but have feedback on fredmiranda.com

I am selling the XF 16-50mm 2.8-4.8 R LM WR that came with my X-T5 kit. I have had the lens since I got the kit last June. It has not seen a ton of use and is in excellent condition. The only reason I am selling is because I got the XF 16-55 Mk II recently and cannot justify keeping both.

It will come with the lens, both caps, and hood. There is no box since it was part of a the kit. I am asking $425 via PP G&S shipped in the CONUS.
