Hello, all gentleman and woman, since tat i'm newbie at forum low yat, i juz wan to ask is it any buyer or seller here courier the item b4 the payment received? I was selling a graphic card at garage sales and there is a guy wan me courier the item b4 he bank in the payment, he keep say i'm newbie and he was a reputated seller and buyer. Is it any buyer or seller doing such 'service'?

Buyer : Recieve Payment 1st before shipping
Seller : Pay first before asking for shipping.

Dont trust such person.Can you reveal the person's name?
Pay first,delivery second.

It can be either way, and it becomes your decision to make. If you don't feel comfortable with it then by all means tell the buyer you do not want to go ahead with it.

Payment in the expectation of shipping is generally foolish, and shipping in the expectation of payment should be no different.

Tq for ur fast feedback, anyway i have rejected his 'idea', i open this thread juz wanna c is it any ppl doing such 'service'.

Seller : Recieve Payment 1st before shipping
Buyer : Pay first before asking for shipping.

Is it the correct way?

Usually it works like this - so far from the people whom I've traded

For instance if the item has to be ordered and depending on the seller. You may not have to pay deposit or some fees , but usually you'll have to pay some fees to secure it and in order to prevent joybidders and FFKers (I would do this even though the seller doesn't want any deposit fees provided if the seller has a clean record) . Usually sellers would ask buyers to make FULL PAYMENT before they ship out (thats how most of the sellers do , unless you have been trading with that guy for a long time , chances are they guy would ship first before you make the payment)

If you're in doubt , take the option of doing COD (Cash on Delivery). Test the product out , let the buyer examine the product in a public place. If he likes it , he pays you . Usually this method is recommended and preferable , but again its up to you

Edit : You have the rights to decline any offer if you think it does not work your way out. Don't worry , you'll find many other buyers who would be interested in your item

if u dont trust this guy..insist the payment 1st. standard online shopping..pay 1st then deliver unless u do cod lor..

Sounds an attempt to scam to me.

You should ask for payment first...

since it is all over if the item reach to the buyer's hand by postage, and he doesn't need to pay you too.
