Swap it Shop.

[Mathew]

Quick question about Swap it Shop here.
MEMBERS (not Habbo themselves) are selling their own items on SwapItShop.

Questions:
1) How does the seller know who the winner is in Habbo? Is there a way to email / PM the winner?
2) How does the winner know that the seller won't scam them? How does SwapitShop ensure that Habbos won't be scammed out of their points for items in Habbo which the seller may not pay up.

Any help appreciated, Post or PM.
Thanks!

I'm quite sure this isnt allowed,

Habbo TOS 2.1.6

2.1.6 Advertise or offer to sell or buy any goods or services for any business purpose

As you said, there is no way to know the seller is who they say they are, so you could quite easily get scammed, and since the goods are virtual, you can't complain to swapit because for all they know you could have recieved them

Habbo will probably take the same stance with users who sell furni on ebay,
You might get one or two trusted memebers, but like ebay, if you get caught, you'll get banned.

Yes, It's confusing, I dont know if it is allowed on SwapitShop, but they have a catergory for Habbo.
After the deal between Habbo and SwapitShop ends, they might take away the section.
But im sure they have ways!

1) How does the seller know who the winner is in Habbo? Is there a way to email / PM the winner?

After you win the item, you can message then your details, just like on eBay.

2) How does the winner know that the seller won't scam them? How does SwapitShop ensure that Habbos won't be scammed out of their points for items in Habbo which the seller may not pay up.

Usually, with real life items, you ship them off to the swap it shop warehouse and from there they send it off, but i'm not sure how it works when on Habbo.
