just agreed with a scoobynet regular to by his headlights. he asked me to transfer the money to his account, and he will send it by courier. eventhough he sonds like a very nice person, because of some bad experiences i've had in the past (not with scoobynet) i am scared that i might not receive what i want. is there any guarantied way of doing this?
please help as i dont want to ofend the other guy, but i am just not 100% sure
cheers.

 

If in any doubt walk away!Only do it if ur sure.

Only advice i can give you im afraid.

Cheers,

Mudfrog

 

The only way to guarantee you are getting exactly what you want, is to go and collect the item in person IMO

 

I've brought & sold loads on s/net, transfered money & been sent money with no problems. All the people I have dealt with are regulars and know on the bbs. Not a cast iron gaurentee (sp?) but it has worked so far for me.

As some one else said, can you meet & exchange? If not explain to him/her and try to arrange something else. Some carriers do cod I am sure, could he use this?

You could name him (or PM a name) I'm sure the regulars will tell you if there's been a problem with him.

Failing that look back at his posts through his user name and see if he's had a problem in the past.

A good thing to check is the number of posts someone has done. If they have posted lots of times then they are a regular on here and can be taken at face value. If not then treat with caution!


Only my 2P's worth!
