new people

i know i havn't been on here forever. but there are all these new people with hardly any transactions or none. and when you are trying to deal they expect you to be the one to ship first even though. you are the one with refs and all smooth transactions. i dont normally complain it is just getting old in a hurry. anyone else have same issue.

If someone wants you to ship first and your not comfortable with it, then dont do it. But, when your new, you basicaly have to research the person, then throw your nuts on the crap table.

If your trading, its a crap shoot depending on who your dealing with, if your selling, its simple, if they dont want to send you the money, then they dont want to buy what you have.

I have been lucky to never have been burned yet. Or, lucky that the guys I did deals with were good people.

I am relatively new, and when I bought an item and sold an item, I didn't ask for anything special like that nor did I receive any request

I have one incoming and one outgoing transaction

true. it is just the fact they message you back and say you ship first then i ship. like the been here forever.

i didn't mean all new people. just a few that i have come across very recently.

I am new, but I have about 3 pages of refs from another site. I just purchased some 1/0 wire from a member, and he shipped quickly and did not burn me at all.

I to have been lucky enough never to have burned on the interwebs.

If they want you to ship first tell them to **** off.

Like seriously I don't care who they are.

NEVER SHIP THE ITEM FIRST.

Cause once it's gone you aint getting it back.

Atleast if they send the cash first and YOU rip them off they will have a much much much better chance at getting their money back.

This forum is notorious for scammers like most popular forums.

Don't listen to anyone wanting you to ship first especially anyone with less than 5k posts.

If they don't have 5k posts they don't care about their username or their reputation on here.

it was suppose to be a trade so there is the chance of getting boned. had it happen with a amp i recieved in a deal not that long ago.

never ever ship first. If they don't like it, they don't buy it.
