only the escrow service from a company with reputation. it is more expensive, but safer

Your terms are clear and there should not be any questions about it. Tell the guy to abide by your terms or fu@koff, who care how many feedback evals he *supposedly* has.

Send his addy to ebay's safeharbor. It looks like a scam,

EDIT:

The site is hosted by GNXonline.com ... for 4.95 a month. The IP for for-traders.com is the same as gnxonline.com

my general rule of thumb is that if a website uses a dash "-" anywhere in the domain...like this site

www.for-traderes.com

...then it's probably not a legit site.

Now i know there are some websites w/ dashes that are totally legit, but I just find most spamming sites or sketchy online stores use "-" in their registered domain name.

Same situation... some guy emails me and wants to buy *ALL* of my Radeon 9800 Pros ($2400), and after I give him a price quote he tells me he wants to use For-Traders.com.

I really feel like going P-P-Powerbook on him. If you want to collaborate, let me know.

Eh, where did you get that many Radeons?
Click to expand...

They manifested themselves in my garage. It was a miracle!

As a product reseller, I recieve payment, pick up the product from my distributor, and ship them.
