Private Sellers: A Word of Warning

js56 · August 23, 2007, 12:00 AM

A lot of buyers are saying they will take an item hoping you go ahead and ship it. Of course they never send payment. If you wait for payment the buyer will email backing out of the deal. Beware this scam.

Ship an item before you get paid?!

That kind of goes without saying. That's not a scam, that is common sense.

Guess those "buyers" weren't raised by people like my father. His rule for a man or woman's proper behavior was "Say what you will do, and do what you say". A person's final test of integrity is his/her word. Unfortunately, many fail to measure up to that standard.

Good shooting and be safe.
