Safe Trading Tips for Fallout 76 (Console)

1. Check Trader Reputation

Search the trader's username in our scammer database to ensure no scam reports. Also, look them up on Market76 Reddit or Fallout 76 Facebook groups for reviews.

2. Use a Trusted Courier for Big Trades

For valuable items like rare gear, get a courier to handle the exchange. They hold items from both sides for fairness. Find one here:

• Market76 Reddit: Check r/Market76 pinned lists or ask in trade threads. Pick users with good karma.
• Facebook Groups: Join groups like “Fallout 76 Trading Market.” Ask admins for trusted couriers and check feedback.

3. Record Every Step

Use console features (PlayStation Share or Xbox DVR) to screenshot or video chats, trades, and drops. This proof helps if you report a scam on our Report Scammer page.

4. Trade in Small Steps

Exchange items one by one to reduce risk. Confirm each step with messages or emotes before continuing.

5. Take Time to Check Items

Don't rush—inspect details like mods or effects in the trade menu. Avoid pressure from the other player.

6. Report Suspicious Behavior

If something feels off (like refusing a courier or sudden changes), stop and report on our Report Scammer page with evidence. Also notify community mods.

7. Join Safe Communities

Trade in groups like r/Market76 or moderated Facebook pages. They have rules, blacklists, and trusted lists for safer deals.
