Want Opinions, Please Give Em

is it out of the question, for someone like me, who has 15+ all good refs on here and 25+ all good refs on my ebay name, to ask another member in a trade deal to ship first, and i will ship out the same day i recieve their item, when the member has only been on the boards a week and has no refs? if so, please let me know! i didnt think this was an unusual or out of line request at all.

Not at all. I don't blame you one bit. You have refs, he doesn't. You'd be an idiot to ship first.

wouldn't consider anything else, assuming they don't have a ton legit refs from ebay, or other forums I suppose.

thanks. i am just looking for a few responses to make sure i wasnt out of line for asking for that. and when the other party asks YOU to ship first, is that out of line? i was kinda like WTF, i had to put the scam alert up, even though i trul;y dont think it is a scam, i think its a straight up deal, just makes me wonder

it doesn't matter...what your feedback is...it's more or less 100% what there's is because its their choice weather or not to deal with you

and if someone is questioning jeepintn, he's a good guy btw

i would be iffy sending someone my stuff without them paying for it but in this case you have nothing to worry about

Yeah if your the one with refs and they're not, then they should ship first, especially when they've only been around for a week. And if they are a ligit person they should be understanding

thats not out of line because that the other parties choice, but it is your choice to say yes or no

thats my thoughts. thanks guys for the responses, i am just making sure i wasnt out of line by even asking for it in the first place. i have seen it done many times on the forums before, but just double checking the etiquette(sp?) i guess

i agree with the above.. and for someone with none to expect you to ship first would through up an alert flag to me too

There are only a handful of members on here with which I would perform a trade and either ship first or ship at the same time.

If I ever did deals on this board Id require whoever it was to ship first. I dont blame you for being careful, especially with this forum.

I never ship first. Thats the only way I can scam a sonnabich.
