    If something like this happens again, then Kwun can punish the scammer. :)

    As stated in some other threads of a similar vain you enter into agreements with Advertisers on BF at your own risk. If you report this member to the Mods then we can warn him or ban him, but BF is not responsible for any money or refunds from events such as this undertaken through the Market place.

    That's the reason why I never trust "e-trading"...

    Not so fast, folks :cool:

    I'm not calling shamabd's credentials into question here...
    ...but merely because one says he/she has been cheated, it doesn't follow that it actually happened ;)

    Events can have dozens of explanations, some of them plausible and some not at all.

    Could we first have details, please? :)

    I don't check BC too much these days, much less the Chit-Chat Forum but am glad a fellow BCer directed me to this. :)

    I've done thousands of "e-trades" and only three instances did I have a problem and it was with the shipping company breaking or losing the packages. :p

    Here are a few things to minimize your risk of e-trading:

    1) Take payment via PayPal only. This way you are protected if the buyer doesn't come through once you send the money. Note: not sure about PayPal policies internationally, I'm referring to the U.S.

    2) Most of the time you can tell by the tone or the e-mail or if the price is too good to be true.

    3) If skeptical or the seller is an unknown, ask for references. If you get uncertain or sketchy replies/details, then don't buy.

    4) Most sellers are honest and their reputation is more important to them than the actual product they are selling. A few months ago, I shipped a racket to a BCer in the States. The postal service broke the racket even though I packed it securely (first time this happened). The buyer was a student so I sent him another racket and took the loss. Just two days ago, FEDEX lost 25 tubes of shuttles. How? I have no clue but they did. I filed a claim but will still lose about $100 as I will re-ship another 25 tubes to the poor buyer who's been waiting 3+ weeks.

    Anyway, I hope this helps. :)

    Well, I guess we got by without resorting to any of the drastic "Off With His Head" measures previously recommended :D
