Well, if you didn't know the other person or thought the other person might rip you off, then of course it wouldn't be smart to send them money, but in my half-dozen transactions with HC regulars, I've never been ripped off. 
| ~~>Tuna<~~ wrote: | | Is it done through soemthing? |
It can be, but it doesn't have to be: If your transaction is done through ebay/paypal, you sometimes have the fall-back of their buyer protection systems, which can refund you if you get "ripped off" but when you think about it, whenever you buy on eBay, you send the money first, and hope that the seller sends the goods, don't you?
So, there's always an element of the "honour system" involved with these kind of transactions. As I say, you just have to use your head, and decide how risky you think it is depending on how much money you need to send, and how well you know the person.
For example, I'd happily send up to a few hundred bucks to (say) Seth or Mav for shoes if they were selling some I wanted, because I've seen them around enough to know they're genuine people like myself who are interested in heeling. If a new member was selling something, I'd not send as much cash at first, since it's a bigger risk, you get me? |

Well, I dunno about me, I'm a bit shifty  But yeah, the others are all fine
lol j/k. I'm honoured that you consider me trustworthy. Not sure if I qualify as a regular yet, I'd say I'll have to be here longer to accept that title
Although despite only being here a few months, I have come to think of it as a home of sorts. |

Me and Mr. England here already have a working business relationship...
A while back I posted that I would help people out if they needed something, I would be on the look out for stuff.
Well ME took me up on that offer and he discovered a few pairs of shoes he wanted.
He sent me a PM asking me, so I found the shoes and I had him PayPal me the money. From that point I bought the shoes.
They are currently in the mail, but when they get here I will ship them out the ME and he will pay me for the shipping again via PayPal.
I bet the same concept works for other people.
So in your situation Tuna:
You would pay Seth via PayPal for the agreed amount price of the shoes + shipping and handling
Seth would send you the shoes and you would tell him your address via PM
Now if you don't feel safe giving out your address, find a medium which can complicate things, but its safe.
What would happen is Tuna would tell me his address and I would give Seth my address. From that point Seth would ship me the shoes, and then I would ship the shoes to you. It would cost more and would take longer for you to get your shoes, but it would be safer. It can go the same way if you are worried about being screwed for your money. You would PayPal me the money and Seth would send me the shoes. When I received the shoes and the money, I will send them out. So Seth would get paid when I receive the shoes and Tuna will get the shoes when I get the money for everything.
All in all, buying stuff online is about trust. I have a friend who is spending $14,000 on a 3 3/4" prototype toy. He is sending about $1,000 a month to this person who may or may not be sending the product. The only thing he has is trust and receipts confirming that the payment was sent a received.
So other then that, that should answer the question to why this was originally created |
