FINALLY SOMEONE FINALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS. i hate how selling items has been so normalized that people are surprised when they get banned for selling items making hundreds or thousands of dollars

I feel like selling items has become a really big problem in the community recently, so I’m glad you covered it! ❤️

It’s actually a little crazy how selling itself is dangerous, but people don’t really realize how dangerous the COMMUNITY for selling can be as well. Doxxing is a very common thing in the selling community I feel like. Anyone who has the ability to hack items can very easily have access to IP grabbers, or just plain know how to access an IP. I’ve seen doxxing over items and for things as simple as misunderstandings between one another. It’s 😬😬

I seriously thought you were gonna tell us not to sell items in our shops 😭

IM GLAD U TALKED ANT THIS. The entire situation is really messed up, and needed to be talked about more. I’ve literally heard that some ppl sell animal jam ACCOUNTS on eBay, most likely accounts that never belongs to the seller

I don't feel bad for people who come back from animal jam after a long break to see their items gone, sure it's a little sad, but I've also been inactive ALOT and I've taken huge breaks. Everytime I come back my items are still there and no one touched my account. Why? Because 1. I have a good password, not something like "abc123" or "animaljamrocks" 2. I have 2fa, people who don't turn on 2fa obviously are begging to be hacked, everyone knows animal jam has the worst security ever. 3. I changed my password after the breach, I didn't keep my password the same because I knew I was going to get hacked if I didn't. Also the breach was REALLY big news, there were articles about it and everything. If you didn't ever change your password or turn on 2fa, then it's your fault you got hacked. Also it's pretty weird how you talk about scammers in this video, legitimate sellers have nothing to do with scammers and often try to report scammers to prevent more people from getting scammed. Also, who cares if people sell? If no one is getting scammed it's not a bad thing. Just people making money. I get the hacking thing being morally wrong and all but some sellers sell items that are actually earned legitimately. This video has awful points and makes sellers out to be horrible people. To group scammers and sellers together like they're the same thing is literally disgusting. I'm sure you're a great person and no hate to you but this video is kind of bad man sorry.

Thank you for covering this, Kijji!

First of all, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched your content let alone anyone’s content, but as always I COMPLETELY agree with this, it’s just another way for people to get scammed. It’s unfortunate how desperate some people can be for rares, yes I feel bad for those who do get scammed but it was risky in the first place. Thank you for covering this topic! 💕💕

Great video! Lot's of good points made :D

Great video as always! 💕

selling items isn’t a problem in servers like Epic Wonders bc you can actually buy or sell to people you can trust with middlemen

Yea, selling items in animal jam is getting out of hand I saw something on wish that was like 5 dollars for galaxy wings! I am so glad you talked about this! Is it okay if I make fanart of you? ♥️ keep it up kijji!

I am so glad you want over this topic. I got hacked by my best best friend. I used to be really rare, with forest and everything, but got hacked. That made me sad, so I took a break for about a year. After that year I want to play again because the game seemed pretty good. I played for about a month, a met someone who was really nice to me. We became best friends. I got a double tail, and of course, my “best friend” said she wanted to offer, and she scammed me, and unbuddied me. I haven’t played since a few years ago because of that. Also, I was on EBay, and saw someone selling items like mine. Such as a masterpiece that I made. I also found out that they were selling 4 forest gauntlets, which was the exact number of forest gauntlets I had. I went through the seller, and most of the items where every similar as the ones I had in my account. Especially the Masterpiece.

I'm glad to finally see this kind of video up. I have been telling people for years that selling items for real currency is wrong because 1. The person you are stealing from could be a child/minor who is too young to understand what scamming with real money is, 2. Will eventually cause Animal Jam to shut down (Where would they get their income from then if the game they are selling items from is gone?), 3. It makes them look bad. I've said it once i'll say it as much as I need to, scammers and hackers are by definition LAZY because they won't actually put in the work to get the item honestly. I also want to tell you that my brother who is an expert on computers says that 2 step verification actually doesn't protect anything. He told me that there is always a back door. I do not know what that means as I am not into tech like my brother I am into making food and reading books. So the only thing I suggest doing is make your animal appearances look unrare when your out in regular Animal Jam public and use the rare stuff in things like roleplays, fashion shows, ect. This is how I have been playing ever since the data breach happened. I am sorry if it seems like I am ranting it's just that with the way the world is right now it makes me sad that even the youth are being affected by global greed. Also I am not entirely sure if the backdoor thing is true but if it is now you know. Thanks again for the video! Good luck and stay safe!

Thank you for speaking on this

Whenever I'm taking a break from AJ I just disable my account in the parent tools until I feel like playing again

awesome video!

My friend used to buy items off of aj she told me that she spent like over 150$ on the game and animal jam banned her it’s disappointing she lost all that money. But I think it’s not good but it’s not bad. Bc some ppl want to be kinda rich but that’s a risk someone can take. And I think someone switched their account and yes that’s what they did made a new account and bought all that stuff.

5:04 my para came up on explorer lol I had to do a double take

I’m really sorry I know this isn’t the topic of this video (which is really well put together and well said 👏) but I wanna know if a trade I made recently was good (idk where else to ask 😭) I traded my rainbow galaxy spiked collar for the drone backpack, I have a second collar but I just wanna know if it was a good deal since it’s an alpha item

I usually just trade ajpw sapphs to ajc rares but its always just w my friends lol

I honestly was gonna to turn to buying items, but i wont do it. The reason i considered it was because, when i thought i was quitting - and played for 2 years, before i quit i gave all my items away to random strangers…. Its so hard to get rare again brcause I decided to come back. Ive worked for my stuff for like 4 years just to throw it away because of a stupid decision i didnt think id change in the future…. But for the sake of the community i dont think ill be buying items. If it means that others are being hacked just for the items, its not worth it.

I searched up videos on this game after years of not playing and coming back to this happening?! It’s sad.

that happened to me before where someone hacked me and stole all my rare items but that was two years ago

Can someone tell me why these crafting crystal were so expensive, these colors drop from basically every chest and treasure hunt, I have no idea what is exactly going on with that price.

I would like to add that if you are in a situation where you buy a digital item through PayPal and that seller does not give you that digital item, you can do a chargeback

Ok but it’s insanely hard to get rare on ajpw. The worth system is messed up

It's really getting out of hand. And I'm serious-- In my instagram bio, it used to say I play animal Jam. But I kept getting SO many follow requests from animal jam item sellers, I had to take it out of my bio. I still get follow requests from these weirdos. It's super annoying.

Its messing up the rarity system in ajc too 😭😭😭

I always get those aj item seller account following me everyday and i have to spam block them everyday in Instagram 😂

I’m sure most of this video is very true! But about the hacking part, that is a debatable claim, I do have a lot of knowledge on this topic, i hope. But, the hacking part in my opinion is true and false, if you look at someone, aka, ‘Error Scams’ she has admitted to scamming ( not sure if hacking or not ) kids and then selling their items, but most sellers I do know about probably don’t do that, truthfully we all have opinions on the matter, especially because, yes, it’s bad, and I have done it before, but I think most sellers do work hard for the stuff, they might, too, be buying from other sellers to get the stuff aswell, ( maybe those sellers were hackers and the other seller didn’t know ) ( but this is just my opinion, no harsh feelings! :3 )

So many sellers followed my instagram so i removed them all and like half of them are scammers its pathetic

i think thats why im so nervous abt quitting one day, i dont want my sh stolen if i wanna come back and have my stuff gone, ive already been hakd/banned from the breech in 2020 and i lost ALOT.. but i traded over the years and got even more worth back witch is insane but atill..havking isnt ok lol

I just saw you in AJ!

Well I’ve never actually engaged with the selling aspect of this, but I do like to join discord servers for trading. I’m feeling iffy about the selling aspect atm so that’s what lead me to here. Although I have found servers that are very genuine and have strict rules about selling, I have not engaged it at all to know how often scams happen. If I did I would only use PayPal so that I could chargeback if someone didn’t give me an item. I don’t think buying pixels is very appealing though unless it’s through the game, because that’s what supports aj and keeps it going

Is an appropriate for animal jam animal jam

Sometimes i wonder why do they even put 320 bucks just for a pixel in-game item, i never spend money on games, instead i try to trade up to that item i want. Thanks for explaining this Sam

I once met a scammer who would make new accounts and then they would buy sapphires.with those sapphires,they would buy a myshop, an artic wolf and an aquarium den. Then they would do the giveaway scam with forest as bait and they got like blackouts and whiteouts.then they would sell the items and make like 300 bucks per account.I’m pretty sure they afforded an apartment by scamming poor,innocent children.

This reminds me of the hard work I did for sapphires and someone stole 149 from them I had none left 😢

i feel like i should teel someone because last night i got the message saying i had "scammed" when i don't even now how to scam, so i don't now what happened but i just think its strange

I met you in claws and paws I'm lilyfroggy14!!!

THE SISYPHUS ROCK IM CRYING ITS SO TRUE

I sometimes see this stuff on eBay and it's literally illegal

Kijjikon I'm not getting my sapphires today and I'm a member so can you tell whats going on if you don't know that's fine

I’ve only bought a few things for a different game but they were cheap and all of them were actually real, none were a scam and I’m glad they weren’t but please don’t do what I did, it’s still a bad idea

I didn’t think that this problem actually exists. Like, why would you even waste your money on a game item instead of using it for your life. Unless it’s cheap like VERY cheap and seems like it’s worth it then that’s ok. In anycase I’d say saving up sapphires and working for sapphires to buy ( with game currency ) your dream items would be better than taking the “easy” way by buying it with real money.

I hate when people rush to be first when something serious is happening

Thank you for reminding me. I forgot to turn on my 2fa

Oh yeah and i quit aj for a year and i got hacked and when i came back my stuff was gone including all of my pets and i didnt even have rare pets lol

Wait that is a real thing!? It seams so easy to scam someone and take money away from people! Just why?!

The fact that people are actaully justifying stealing with "Well they don't play anymore soooooo" is the worst mind set. Bet you if they stopped playing a game went back to it years later and see everything gone they will rage.

It’s so wild to me how some people can trust a stranger to give them an item after they send them 230$ like bro… y’all are crazy

The people who claim they are taking items from “inactive” accounts are 50/50 lying. One person hacked my gf’s account and claimed they were just taking from a “inactive” account. And that was complete bull, because she was literally using that account minutes before she got hacked. We lost about over 50 prize pals, her peacocks, and alpha drag. And most of those pals were mine. She quit the game and I almost lost it because that was my hard work completely gone. But I never blame my gf for the situation even though she kept saying its her fault. I rather lose those prize pals than losing her, yeah it was my hard work. But I worked with her for much longer than that

someone was giveaway a double tail but they bought it from eBay😐

Huh I never knew this was a thing

I saw someone selling a double tail for 15 dollars a few days ago- def a scam yall

ugh it still doing this people sell money in game brush why that why storm banned in animal jam 🙄

Another problem similar to this, cross-trading. I've seen it happen a lot on classic, people looking for solids (long black spiked collars, only on classic, or any other items like hd) for SAPPHIRES! Of course over-trading isnt as bad as buying items, but it's still a bad thing. Even if it's an unused account, it's still not right. Scamming and hacking is a very bad thing. ✨

SOMEONE HACKED MY ACCOUNT AND I LOOSE ALL INTEMS !!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 THIS IS SO MEAN HELP MEEEE !!! I HAVE 0 PETS AND MY BEST INTEMS ARE AIRPLANE WINGS!!!!

Wow were all early

Bruh People are buying random online itens with real money in a kids game 😅

1st! :3 pin? also who would even buy things like this online it’s more than likely a scam 💀

Hi kijj it's me Ganoyu aj still didn't answer me can you ask aj please?

Skorm deserved to be banned from Julian2

Early people 👇

It makes me uncomfortable when people sell real out of game art for in-game sapphires

KIJJIKON THERE MORE BOTS NOW THERE HACKING AND SELLING PEOPLES ACCOUNTS AND MY FRIEND GOR EFFFECTED PLS MAKE A AWARNESSVID ON IT I THINK THEY ARE CALLED EAGLE AND HAWK BOTS

I tried to send you a buddy request because l ❤️‍🩹 u but it says your requests are off 😕

I dont buy or sell but Im not gonna snitch from the people who do

Dear people this is entirely off topic but I recently had an encounter with a strange "glitch" in the painting activity where if I use the painting bucket with a certain color there would be random blue particles floating in the color I noticed it happens with the default blue I’m concerned that if I make it into a masterpiece I will get banned does this happen to anyone else let me know if so 🤎 my username is jamberoni

Imagine a sweet day in aj And you finally go to bed then you realize "I just got hacked overnight." That would be my literal animal jam nightmare Also some ways to stay safe:2 step verification Use parent tools to change passwords or Lock your account so that the hacker needs to do more things to get in and maybe put your rare items in a spare dont tell anyone what it is and maybe make it look like a new jammer. Stay safe jammers and jam on!
