People sometimes cheat... =D

cheating in which way?
but i got successful trade list mah, should be more confident toward me.

just look in this thread, http://forum.lowyat.net/TradeZoneHelpdesk&...esolutionCorner. just pick one topic and you will know why they wanna preventing postage

1. Buyers are afraid to be cheated because there are many con cases.

2. Most of buyer prefer to see real items with their eyes.

3. They do not know how to bank in and prefer to give cash (Normally youngsters)

4. Wanna meet the seller

It depend on the seller if seller wanna do COD or not. If both agrees to each other then no problems. If no agree to the terms and conditions then just bye bye.

If you want saved on cost, then you should tell your client to find you to collect and not go their place of choice.

for expensive item then cod is advisable but for cheap one then ok to post...tell that to ur customers

Yes, agree with Strawberry.

Another reason, although quite a small possibility is that something might happen to the seller. As the seller is often mainly a one man/woman show, if he /she is sick, emergency or meet some accident, the transaction is therefore stuck.

Once I had purchase an action figure from a seller. Bank in the money and he promised to send tmr. However, no response and no item received after a few days. Thought I was conned. But managed to call the hp and family member mentioned that he met an accident and passed away on the day I bank in the money! Check the obituary and found out it is true.

Want to claim the item but feel like not appropriate time for it. 2 months later only I contact the family member and able to take the action figure.

wah, so dramatic

sometimes things get lost in the post too.

sorry to say..
successful trade list for me doesn't show confidence towards the seller....
it merely a number....and i already check your successful trade list
my advise is ask your customer to post a feedback in your thread....
it will surely bring more confidence for future buyer towards you
and if you want to bring more confidence for your future buyer...
do post the real picture of the item....!!!
more detail about you as a seller...!!!
and please put in your avatar picture...!!!!! **maybe a picture of your self!!!

hehehehhehe...just a piece of advice!!!!

more detail ? how? need to put in my personal info eg name,address,ic-no ?
can u give me your picture? i wanna put it as my avatar, cos my face looked con man alike, your will be better

hahhahahhaha
more detail like perhaps your CONTACT number dohhh~
why no contact number??? afraid they will stalk you ehh??!!!

u see all my product pic, got contact no

people have their own comfort level when dealing online. i'm ok with online deal for less than RM200, more than that, it's COD.

im with this

i go for cod , if it the first time i buy from the seller, get to know he/she better. Of course after that if the 1st impression is good i go for postal, is tiresome for me also need to travel then carried it back home.

If the seller got successful trade list, u also need to cod for the 1st time? reason pls . thank you

1. afraid barang tak sampai
2. cod much faster
3. cod barang can check first
4. takut wang disonglap.

avoid get cheat. cos for extra confidence on item u buying

if buyer cheat/sell fake item can punch straight to face..
