A good guideline on trading?

[Ricemarine]

well, thing is, I just had a deal that went bad. Guy received video card, had driver issues, not hardware related, ships back after a week of testing. He didn't pay squat, but ships it back, so I get $0. Do I always have to ship first before I am paid? my heatware is 6-0-0 but many people think of it badly. Second deal fails also because my heatware is small. Involves a guy buying my video card, he wants me to ship first when I already had 3 packages shipped first without payment. I say I want to be paid first, he backs out saying that my heatware is awful. Cmon!

So now, being in a fkin insane mood like I am now, I would like suggestions for better trading.

First deal you need to get your shipping costs back from him.

Even if you're willing to accept a working card back due to his own issues you shouldn't be out your shipping costs. I would definitely avoid dealing with people who pull that kind of crap.

As for your second, 6 is pretty few. Then again if you hadn't been screwed on shipping the first time around you might be more willing to ship first.

Deal with a better class of traders.

So I should ask the guy to paypal me $5 for shipping costs right?

When your a new trader you have to either ship first or have super low prices.

If you've already closed dealings with him I wouldn't bother. In the future though don't let yourself get walked on.

Shipping first is a normal thing with so few feedback, getting walked over is not.
