While charging collateral isn't illegal (althought running off with said item or collateral), this person is in violation of the rules.

Why? you may ask.

"+500 lending fee" is the answer.

You can not charge NP to lend something to someone. It's a tip under the ToS.

We all know that it is wrong to charge someone for an item. But I think the bigger issue here is it would be far worse to accept a deal on those terms knowing you were not going to honour your side of it.

This person either doesn't know the real value of the card or is too trusting. To take advantage of this situation is <b> much </b> worse.

This person, although breaking a rule, was not hurting anyone - it is up to the person doing the trade to offer the NPs - he is more likely to get ripped off with such a cheap price.

I don't think reporting him was necessary.
