Guys, I never purchase anything from a member before, I would like to know if its a little risky to do so when the seller is in US and I am in Canada? Also, he doesn't have any itrade record...please advise!

 

i bought my rims from a forum member a couple of months ago, paid through paypal, shipped fedx with no problem.

 

what are you buying and for how much? I wouldn't buy anything expensive unless it was from a very reputable member. Keep in mind paypal doesn't treat you the same in the case of fraud because it's not on ebay.

 

Well.... there are risks envolved with everything. I would not have a problem with purchasing from a member with no itrade record as long as they have been on here for a while. Someone trying to sell you some rims for 3K that has been a member for 2 days might be an issue thou.

 

I was on another forum before, i recently join this one since its bigger and more fun...How long would you consider long? a yr? I am purchasing something like 3g usd...so I am just a little concern if anything happen...how about using a method other than paypal? like...forgot the name ..

 

I wouldnt risk it with someone that has no itrader feedback.

where does the person live? Maybe you can have a member with good standing in that area help you with the transaction so as to not get ripped off?

 

how many posts does this person have? Sometimes you see members that have been members since 03 with 2 posts trying to sell stuff. I would consider number of posts first because I don't think a scammer would be posting much, especially since if you scam someone on here the whole site seems to gang up on you.

 

Unless you can see the item, don't.

 

It's a crap shoot. The US Canada thing has nothing to do with it.

 

post the members name and we'll vote if he is worthy

 

+1

 

+2

 

Or perhaps you can find a reputible member who is in the US near the seller to help you verify information.

 

+3

 

Alright, hope the seller feel no Offense on posting his name, I am just serious about the buy...his name is shensuji..selling his vsxx gold 19s. He is located in LA I believe...lets vote! =)

 

rule of thumb: always buy it from members with high i-trader rating

 

its all good he sold his rims to someone else already...I really want vsxx gold..anyone wanna trade with my Bronze TEs?
