I don't even get what you said, in the 1st part it sounds like hebought something, then the 2nd part sounds like you bought something.

You always suppose to send money & then after they received it they send the merchandise.

he sent me this email

"I thought "kool beans" meant you understood,

I said I will send a postal money order asap AFTER I have received the merchandise. Only a dummy would send money to someone they have never met for merchandise they have never seen. I’m sorry but I’m no dummy ."

What part of that didn't make sense to you?

Coco, I totally understood. Dude's a lame. For sure.

LMAO! that's waht im saying andy, he's saying he's selling something? But then why would you send a money order to the buyer for your own product?

oh ok. well then he's a dumb ass.

I think that when it comes to financial interactions people understand what they CHOSE to understand.

In my opinion, I pay in advance for what I wish to receive, and I know that it is possible that I may be dealing with a scammer, but I CHOSE to have basic trust, and I don't purchase more than I could afford to be scammed for in the event it could occur. I think untrusting people are one of two things, either people that have been overscammed or people who would scam others themselves. Coco was very trustworthy with dealings I had with him, and I sent first as the buyer. Then after several purchases, he sent first before getting the money.

I agree with Coco all the way...

I personally don't like it when someone selling something _needs_ to talk to you on the phone to make sure you're legit.

Chill, people, if you don't get your money, then just don't send me anything.

Once, I remember emailing someone from the Buy/Sell forum, but he said that he had already sold his part. "Still," he says, "one of my friends is parting out the same bike."

I emailed the friend, sent across paypal, and got huge boxes of delicious parts in the mail (yes, I'm a monster, and I eat them).

The money coming across first is what makes you trust a buyer, not how they contact you. If you're internet-paranoid, use eBay - that's why it's gotten so bloated and expensive.
