The point is, as the buyer, yes a middleman is great... you can play the character as soon as you deliver the cash to the middleman, and it's fun especially with a 450 ED! But the seller, has to wait 30-31 days (if I'm not wrong). At the same time, it's safe for both parties, but I will accept a middleman if I raise the price, and I don't know yet how much higher I'll raise it, since I never planned to use a middleman with my price, but up to you.
Still, don't see how it'll make me look bad. In my opinion, I have a decent reputation in the forum.
