help please, need advice
 

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,

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!
