Well, I'm about to do a cross ship with this guy, and I'll let y'all know how it goes. Like everyone else, I paid mydues and shipped first when I had no Heat and I strongly belive that tis that best way to demonstrate your own trustworthiness and commitment to honest trading. Having said that, it is ALWAYS the sellers choice to decide whether or not to ship first, and no one should be publicly chastised for refusing to do so. The penalty you suffer is having a much more difficult time selling your goods.
Anyway,wish me luck and hope I don't get screwed...
cross-hipping is a joke we convinced ourselves is equitable and fair..There are no guarantees anyone ships anything..DC#s??? Dont mean crap since they likely will not be in system for a day or so and then offer little or no info....No safe guard here ad yuou are kidding yourself if you think so.
I think you likely will be fine as the odds usually are still in your favor.
However this trader is getting the easy road as you more seasoned traders are caving in to questionable practices...He should pay his dues and be scrutinized (though not publicy in his thread) and likley when his stuff doesn't move can go sell it on ebay with the rest of the sheep.....
I place him on my DNT list simply for the fact he doesn't respect the heatware references I have worked hard to build....That is my prerogative!!!
