Bumping this thread because it's been a while and I am still mostly curious about the payment methods/selling "anonymously" and using a middleman.
Middleman services were disbanded here some years ago. Here are some threads with market tips and rules to help you further:

Thanks! I did read those - upon reading again, though, it seems like it's mostly a trust thing? Like you make trades/sales with people who hopefully already have a good iTrader rating, and it's a matter of trust that they won't reveal or do anything with your real name/personal info when you buy/sell via Paypal? I did look around quite a bit but there doesn't seem to be a way to sell more "anonymously" on paypal unfortunately.
And thank you about the middleman thing being disbanded. If I do make trades/sales I'll just focus on making them with established traders until I get more comfortable. Seems like that's the best/only way to go.

That's very reassuring, thank you! I remember ages ago there was fear of that type of info being given out, so it had me a bit on edge. That and this site is pretty well-known, while the site I used to use (years ago) was lesser-known. I'll probably buy more than sell, but hearing positive experiences is a comfort.

Some of the NC sellers here have listed DTI.... Maybe create a separate DTI list from the one associated to your account For me I do have a specific NC Seller I go to for things I need because a) they can get me most items, b) their prices are good, c) are consistent.....A lot of the times I come to them for items I cannot find myself or am having hard time finding..... My TL list is eh sometimes... So maybe disguise your account through dti

A separate DTI list is a great idea thanks! Do they sell using paypal or something else (and do sellers tend to sell using Friends & Family or the "goods & services")? And if you're comfortable messaging me the seller name I'd love to know for if I want to get something...especially if they have good prices! I don't have much time to trade these days which is why I'm more interested in selling some stuff I have directly and buying directly.
