Place for a Vouch????

[Gothika]

Is there a place on these boards where users can vouch for other users. I know about heatware but the guy I would like to deal with has over 400 posts but no heatware at all... How can I make a decision on weather or not to ship first even if the guy has 10 times as many posts as I do???

A perdiciment ( ?? )

Thanks guys

Post count is no way to determine seller/buyer integrity. Have seen several hundred posts from one user in a very short period of time-going to over 1000 posts in a little over a month to receive "Ultimate Member" status. Ask who they've dealt with before and then check them out first. Read the trader's tips and info sticky for some good advice.

Is he a democrat?


hehe, hmmm, thats sort of a judgement call...depending on how much the deal is worth etc. Does he post on other forums?

first off post count shouldn't have anything to do with your decisions if he has no refferences and can not provide any then your basically on your own judgement. Other than just posting the person's username and letting people stand up/vouch for him/her

you can ask for ebay refferences as well also make sure your shipping to a cofirmed address with delivery confirmation with signature

Is that within foeum guidlines RicheemxX? Is it ok if I post his user id and ask for vouchs? Thanks

[John Prophet]

pm us his name, lol

uhh, I wouldnt post his name up though, that would be sort of rude...good way to get a flame war/hurt feelings going.

I don't really know if its within forum rules but I really don't see why it wouldn't be its the same as posting your refferences your basically posting other people vouching for you as a trader. But you can PM a mod and ask them before doing so

ugh my typing sucks today....JP has a good point on the flaming thing personally I'd ask the user before posting anything

ok cool, thanks guys

one thing you can do is search the thread as pc abusers for his email addy usernames ect as well as his name and address or google his username/email addy to see if anything abd pops-up..

sine he's asking you to ship prior to paymnet I assume you don't ahve refferences either???

IMO If you have some and he doesn't and he's still asking I'd question things just my 2pennies

no no we havent come to any deal yet but the item is worth like $250-$300 and I know I need to ship first a bit untill I get some heatware refs, but my bottom line is to get the items I have sold without hassels..... Thanks
