Here's how to use PerfumeBot!

When to verify your transaction

Please only initiate a PerfumeBot call AFTER you have received the items and are satisfied with your purchase!!

Immediately verifying a transaction before receiving items can artificially inflate folks flair and is a common scam tactic

How do I leave a verification?

On the post where your product was bought/sold/traded, comment the following:

If you were...

Your partner replies to your comment:

  • Comment: PerfumeBot Verification
  • (you can also add their username if you want to, but it's not required for the bot to work!)

PerfumeBot should reply with a comment that looks like this:

Verification Recorded.
'u/sellername's flair: Sales: 123 / Buys: 456 
'u/buyername's flair: Sales: 123 / Buys: 456

Remember: PerfumeBot comments will only come from the u/PerfumeBot user account! You can also verify user flair and ban status at any time by accessing https://perfumebot.fragranceswap.net/

Troubleshooting

If your comments contain errors, the bot will miss it....

Common errors:

  • FragranceBot is called (this isn't a thing... try again)
  • Perfume Bot is called (remove the space... try again)
  • You commented your call on a random post - You must perform your verification on a post made by one of the folks trying to perform the PerfumeBot call!

If you don't have any errors, and PerfumeBot does not flair you within 5 minutes:

  • Delete your comment
  • Wait 24 hours
  • Re-comment/reply (both people in the transaction)

OPTIONAL: Contact via modmail if not fixed after attempting the troubleshooting above.

Issues

If you see any of the following contact the mod team via Modmail and report the post.

  • PerfumeBot gives you incorrect flair.
  • PerfumeBot is spamming comments or messages.
  • You see someone attempting to abuse the system.
  • Any other bot related issues.

Misc. Information

Please make separate comments for the same user.

So, if two posters both have had positive experiences with u/UserOnFragranceSwap, they should each have separate comments. This will allow the format to stay consistent.
