You do have the ability to dispute a paypal transaction. Unless it is someone with a really high trader feed back and is very active, I wouldn't do business that way.
I looked up misplacedtexan he has 1 feed back for trade and 1 feed back for selling. All of his feed back is from buying, lot less risk when buying. I DO NOT think he is scaming but I would just move on. I would also say you need to change the title and not hurt misplacedtexan rep. Saying beware from a guy who has different practices when it comes to purchasing is just hurting him for no reason.

Are you both crazy!
Who cares if you have 0 trader rating, you have to start some where. Never, I mean never ship an item first then get payment later. That's just opens the door for a scam.
Now I would be hesitant if you didn't have any pics or said you had no way of getting the pics to the buyer. That's what paypal is for.

I know personally I have driven sellers kind of crazy with all my questions, but it just leaves less to chance for both parties involved. I don't mind answering any questions regarding an item I have for sell or getting any other pics the potential buyer may ask for.

Yes, but that is where you need to do your own research to make sure you get a good description of the item of purchase along with as many detailed pics as you can. If the seller is hesitant in getting me this info, then that's when I know to move on.

Not that I have a dog in this fight, but I would like to know if misplacedtexan has even heard of this thread.
His trader rating looks good to me, I know that we all started with a zero and had to build it up.
I am not sure on what to say about the "you ship and then I will pay" plan. Not the way I see business being done. If I am not comfortable with the other end of a deal I simply pass. And if you were going to scam him all you need to do is ship an empty box to get that active tracking number to him so he will do payment.
This whole thing is just odd, but it does deserve a little air time from the other party.

There is NO reason to ever request an item be shipped before payment is made!

Haha, that would be like going in, buying groceries and then paying for them later, if you like the way they taste . NO, don't ship without payment FIRST. If this did happen as described, makes me leery of someone who try's to pull this.

Let me first say that I was not aware of this thread until "lbenton" let me know, thank you sir!
I was contacted by the thread starter saying he had 2 servos that I might be interested in because of a thread I had in the wanted section looking for a high torque high voltage servo. In the pm's he told me the price he wanted for them and also wanted $15 to ship them! I answered him,(he was on at the time) right after he sent the pm, asking where he was located. I was wanting to know why the shipping was so high. About 2 minutes later before answering me, that was about the 4th,he got off and I didn't here back from him until today, taunting me about how he sold them on ebay for $120 a piece, like I care. He then starts telling me how I should conduct buisness and research. Well I did research him, and at the time on his profile he had no location listed. I had no idea he was in Canada until today. I had already forgot about doing any buisness with him because he didn't contact me back, until today. He also called me a "whiner"???
And now he's started a thread flaming me, for what?

So where did the ship first and I'll pay later come from? I actually would like to see a PM where that was stated.
