People sometimes cheat... =D

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.

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!!!!

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

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.
