ggzilla Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I agree - Treat others,as you'd like to be treated. Treat them with respect. It doesn't mean "trust everyone". What should I do? - Tell the "buyer" to send cash before I ship it? Yes, that's a good idea, and shows no disrespect. It protects you from flaky buyers, and you can still deliver great service. I try & make sure that they're happy with their purchase. I will refund the money if there's a problem, as I would want others to treat me. Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm surprised by the people that want you to drive a car you're selling across a state so they can look at it.... "I'm not driving three hours so you can inspect it." "Well, I guess you don't really want to sell it then." "Guess not....." Click. If you want it, come look on your dime! 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 If you want it, come look on your dime! yup, but works both ways. I would expect a few pictures to be sent before investing several hour road trip. (pun intended???) Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 You're nicer than me. I expect pictures before a twenty minute road trip yup, but works both ways. I would expect a few pictures to be sent before investing several hour road trip. (pun intended???) Quote Link to comment

67_1600 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 What should I do? - Tell the "buyer" to send cash before I ship it,or what? Shipping items before receiving payment is foolish. Granted there are many who most likely can be trusted 100% but eventually you will get burned. Your 'buyer' isn't truly a buyer until they've paid for your item. Until then, they are just some who has expressed interest just like any other potential buyer. The good thing is that you've got your items packaged and ready to go, so when a real buyer comes along you won't have to spend as much time getting the parts ready to be sent. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have sent parts with the promise of members paying when they got the part as i don't trust Paypal and the goverment , Bonvo,, Dirttracker510 ,, Zen_Dog , pretty sure there were a couple more that payed in good faith, and it makes you feel good to get cash in your mail. I have gotten stiffed once but whatever,, his wife /girlfreind is probably out getting porked by a someone that knows what they are doing,, right now.. 1 Quote Link to comment

BrooklynAnnarkie Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I encountered the opposite problem where I paid and the seller didn't ship the part. Thankfully I got a refund after a month of silence, but I really wanted the part. I have no idea whether they sold the stuff to someone else or just didn't want money. And again, thankfully another Ratsuner came to my rescue with a part I needed. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
