"if the seller has no references and the buyer has many, the buyer may want the item shipped to them first so they can make sure they dont get screwed"
references only go so far....
everyone starts with no references...
what kind of references do you mean??
e-mails of people saying good transaction...
I read on other sites also never ever shi[ before payment is made and for a check a good friend got burned even after waiting 2 weeks for a stupid check to clear.
Not at all trying to make this sound bad in any way but it is just puzzling to me...
One last question what if i ship and never get money
what recourse do i have... they have my item and i have no money at least the other way they have record of paying whoever incase a problem arises..
thanks all
