(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As almost all of us indulge in Trophy trades (buying, selling or trading), i thought it might be useful to compile some guidelines for people to bear in mind, in order, for the transaction to be pleasant.

I have had input from Shadymathers on this and collaborated my work with his to make the list. Please point out anything that you think should be in list and that i might have missed.

Here goes:

- DONT go online on someone' account unless its for syncing or doing trophies that require online gaming without his/her permission.
Agree on an approximate day or time beforehand. Better yet, add each other on PSN and communicate there when you need the account.

- DONT look through the other person' friends list or send messages. His/Her account is none of your business, do the trophies and thats that!

- Put a comment of the person' choice in the comment box,or if the person hasn't told me,then put 'NOT AVAILABLE' and not advertise yourself either.
You can leave comment box blank if you prefer not to write anything.

- PASS all messages that you recieve on someone' PSN account, to the respective person. Everyone communicates on PSN on varying degrees and it helps the person not to loose that continuity for various reasons.

- DONT go on someone' PSN store. Its none of your business and thats not involved in the deal. Do your end of the deal (syncing or playing for online trophies) and just stick at that.
Remember, if you even download one item from the person' account, he loses his free slot.

- If you have downloaded something from the person' account for doing trophies for him/her, then DEACTIVATE the account once the deal is done.
Simply deleting wont help, as the person cant use that free slot.

- STICK to the original deal agreed by both parties. A change in a deal has to be AGREED by both parties. Many a times trophies are not acquired on estimated times, just because trophies took longer than expected, doesnt mean you demand more from the buyer - its NOT the buyer' fault.

- DONT forget to delete the person' account after deal is done.

- Take only as many deals as you can handle in a timely manner.
On the other hand, please try to accomodate some delays in case they happen for genuine reason.

- EVERYONE make a second account, which is on the friend list of your Main account. This way you can log on the second account and have a look if someone is playing on your Main account for online trophies and then you wont Accidentally log him off.
This saves a lot of work, hassle and argument between 2 parties.

- Sync only till around 10% for someone' trophies to reflect on their account. No need to sync till 100%, it takes a very long time and is waste of time for both parties involved.

- BE careful that you dont play any other game on the person' acount. Nobody likes an extra 0% on their trophy list and quite a few of us have been the victim of it.
IF you have done this by error, then please OWN up to it.

- And remember to Communicate about everything and be Polite, hand-in-hand it goes a Long Way!!! Also, constantly update the other person about trophy progress, so they know where they stand.
Use MSN or AIM if both of you have it, helps in the aid of communication too

- Once deal is done, can both parties please leave feedback for each other as soon as possible. It only seems a decent thing to do, considering the seller has spent quite a bit of time on the deal.

- It is recommended that you check this You must login or register to view this content., after every transaction. This will help you determine if the person syncing trophies on your account, actually downloaded something from your account.

PS: For guidelines regarding how to make a second/dummy account, check this excellent thread by Jedt You must login or register to view this content.

Also have a look at reasonings why NO ONE should ask for You must login or register to view this content.

This should be Pinned.
Also I usually have 3 separate DL accounts and don't add $$s or DL on my main account. This eliminates and problem with people abusing it.

yeah people have dowloaded from my account and now i cant download anything on to my new ps3 as i use both ps3

Great work mate, for some reason I can't post thanks, atm (for you) will get you later.

Yep that's something I've been saying for a long time and communicated that in the previous trophy trusted list, however it did get moved and our message lost in the process.

It is something I've communicated to some of the newbies when they open shops, ask for advice or query how the process works.

Nice one mate...recommend that this thread is stickied.

Edit: thanks working again mate, sorted as deserved.

Good work D-rock! Agree this should be stickied.

Great stuff, it would help a lot of people with your guidelines.

great information regarding trades with another user. yeah you gotta respect the other users account if you're going to plat the game, can't be intruding into their PSN info and dl stuff w/o their consent. it's stealing and you didn't pay for it, so you gotta do what you were payed for and got it done without any hassle. don't want to be scammed out of what you were agreed to you know? but communication is key, when dealing with anyone, gotta keep in touch, Jedt has emphasize this a lot and we have to stick with it, that's how things go down smoothly without fail.

ohh for the love of god, please...please delete the user after they confirmed it has been synced and everything is payed for. that is the last thing we have to do and de-activate the account on your end, that way there wont be any problems with the Sony 5 account error.

so yeah thanks mate, good stuff here, totally needs to be a sticky here. :beer::bro::y:

Edit: This is totally going to be incorporated into my shop, very useful info for first time buyers that need good information on how we do things around here. keep the updates going mate...
