But Jon has multiple trades open for him to buy buds with unusuals. So if he is so strict, why can't he follow his own rules?
I already have 1 trade open where I am selling hats, strange gunslingers, and buds.. and in my wishlist i have key icon, metal icon, and craft hat icon as currency to pay me.

I want to make another trade to just buy craft hats for 1.11 ref. and i want to use the craft hat icon again.

These are two qualitatively different trades.
If J-O-N :D - college :/ can do it, then I should be able to do it too.
And if I cannot, it does not make J-O-N :D - college :/ strict... it makes him a hypocrite.

Can an admin other than Jon, who was not helpful when I asked and responded with an irrelevant one liner in caps, please give me clarification?

Thanks

PS- I am erring on the side of caution. I have only one trade open right now, because for some reason this dude put me on his radar and I can only speculate why. Although I guess he just put himself on my radar now.

I was just looking over J-O-N :D - college :/ trades, and he is asking for buds in multiple trades.
He is asking for buds as currency for items he is selling, and since he is an admin... I can do the same thing... right?
This means I CAN ask for craft hats as currency in one trade where I am selling other hats and buds and strange gunslingers, and use the craft hat icon; and in a different trade I CAN use the craft hat icon again when I am asking to buy any craft hats for 1.11 ref.

After all, the admin J-O-N :D - college :/, who is the one who banned me for relisting... is asking for buds in multiple trades.

So if I am not allowed to do this... may I ask an admin why? Or better yet, why J-O-N :D - college :/ can do this?

I am selling some items, and as currency I accept keys, metal, and craft hats as specified by my trade. I therefore use the key, metal, and craft hat icons for this trade.

I would also like to open up a trade to offer metal for all craft hats, and I wish to use a craft hat icon for that trade. I have not made the trade because I do not want to get banned over it.

I also asked for clarification from an admin as to whether I would be allowed to offer the same currency in metal, for 9 trades, with 8 different hats in each trade. It would say "buying any of the above craftable hats and misc items for 1.11 refined each".
Is this considered relisting?
I tried to ask the admin "Jon College" about this and his answer was not helpful at all. He wrote a one liner, all in caps which said "ALL YOUR TRADES ARE THE SAME".

He was alert enough to ban me for relisting because I wrote "I will buy any craft hats for 1.11 ref" in 9 trades featuring completely different hats in all of them, but not alert enough to answer my question about what would be acceptable wording.

So I was wondering if another admin could answer my questions in a clear way.
I am not going to make new trades until I get an answer, because I do not want anyone to have any excuse to ban me again.

Thank you

I would like an admin to answer, because although I value and appreciate the input of the community... in the end, if it doesn't come from an admin; they have an excuse to ban me again. I want clarification, and perhaps others may as well.

Yes!
What I plan to do when i cash out, is to have people pay me on a game called "Second Life".
They have a legal currency exchange built into the game, so you will not have a risk of someone doing a chargeback on paypal.

The way it works is Second Life will take around 3 % of the total money being cashed out of their game; it then gets sent to paypal which costs you another dollar.

But it is much better than relying on people paying you through paypal, because there is never a risk of chargebacks. Once someone pays you on second life, the deal is done. There is no way to get the money back, unless you can prove someone hacked your account. It is not easy to prove such a thing, unless it is true, and they will investigate it properly.

So there is no risk at all in getting payments over second life. I used to create and sell virtual items, and virtual real estate there and I made around 3300 USD over 2 years there. I quit the game because I got bored of it, and the money was not incentive enough to stick around.
