It seems like conman is every where these days.. better pray not to be scammed, or pay for blessings (best solution) not to be scammed

Many conman prefer postage method, yes.

But many robber/killer prefer COD method, so there is no absolute safe way!

Damn those people!

this kind of scammer really gives people like me problem to sell stuff .. i prefer postage and most of my games stuff are bought and sold using post to forumer and seller in this forum.. but then most buyers that are brave enough to buy from me are people that have -20 below post..

there's also another kind of scam going on and i was pmed by one b4. he claim he was scammed b4 and want to buy my wii but only wanna pay half.. after postage only pay another half. obviously scam.. i straight away chase him away

Yeah same here...i simply prefer to do POSTAGE and not COD....dun wanna waste time and money just to do some small COD...unless the item to bulky cannot do postage then no choice.

haha...pay half for the WII...you should say ok...then send him only the cable.....then send the rest when he pays full!!! tongue.gif

Nice piece off advice. Disagree with number 4 though, I'm a trader myself and I have a full time job. Definitely can't pick up the phone when my boss is next to me while working, its rude and unprofessional.
