In 2006, McAfee conducted a survey in which they claim out of the 95 percent most trafficked web sites, .tk domains were twice as likely as the global average to be used for "unwanted behaviors", including scams such as phishing and spam.However, in 2008 McAfee reported that the threat of scams like phishing and spam was significantly reduced with .tk and that other top level domains such as .com and .net were much more used in such scams.

Even though most TF2 phishing links seem to be .tk now, it would very quickly not have any effect to just block this TLD.

Did I miss anything? The trade you linked is not your trade. Why do you care?
And if you set up trades with a ridiculous B/O because you have no clue how the bptf bonus price works, then don't be surprised if you get comments. You had it coming.

And what I really hate, is ppl that feel the need to report every comment in their trade that could be considered "spam" or "price check". If you are confident about your prices, you can explain the situation, or just hide that comment and move on. And if someone is still posting, you have the option to report and then block him.

Why do people always have to run to mummy for these kinds of things? Grow up!

But I guess this is also work in progress, as I can search for "uncraft" in the wishlist, but I cannot put up a trade specifying uncraft in the wishlist.

Ohh, and love the "search completed trades" option. Have yet to try it out and see what exactly it does. Just deleted items, done trades, both ... and if so how far back.

Was about to "complain" as well. Just how did you figure that out? Well done!

Now I would also like a "promo" or better yet "currency" filter so that I have easy access to the often needed metal, keys and promos (max, bill, bud, big kill) with one filter

As you said, if you want to find serious buyers you're better off setting up your own trade. So I see no issue here.

As I said, it's everybody's choice. Although not advisable, even the choice to only contact one quickbuyer.

And that is what they do, just without the hassle of selling themselves. I highly doubt quickbuyers are successful with buying for 50% or less.

It's everybody's free choice to sell his unusual himself or find a quickbuyer that will take his unusual no matter what hat or effect for a good discount.

It works because selling an unusual for the "normal value" takes a lot of patience.
Not everybody has that patience. Unusuals tend to have a rather large price range anyway, so who's to say what the "normal price" is?

People with a lot of funds can afford to invest in items that sit in the shelf for a long time until sold. Others rather have 2 buds now than 2.5-3 later.
And for that shelfing (is that even a word), he expects a return on investment. Similar to what he would've made if he had traded with the 2 buds over and over in the meantime (opportunity costs).

That is why quickbuyers have a valid, if not viable, function, similar to banks and pawn shops in the real world.
(please no discussion about that analogy, it is flawed, I know)

So unless the quickbuyer is crossing the line with his price, why should he be banned?
