Buying/Selling coins on BST question

bestday

Looking at listing on the BST wondered why some posters require sellers to ship coins before receiving money.... yet when these same persons themselves sell, they will not ship coins unless paid for .. or at coins shows.. no coins leave the table unless paid

I'm sure it is a matter of trust when dealing over the internet, with people you do not know
and have never done business with before.

You get what's paid for from most.

A feeling of security.
I have received coins before paying (from established members) and do request that from new members.

As a seller, I have sent coins before payment (depending on value of coins, member known to me or not, etc) and I have waited for payment.


I do know what you are seeing though, and the way some of these guys do it, I do shake my head. Some of them are all about the "me me me me" and others have to jump for them to do it THEIR way.

I just move on if I am offended. Otherwise, I may ask about it and see if we can deal. I do look to see who the person is, how they have handled themselves, if there have been issues, etc.

It is the Circle of Trust

Have shipped before payment arrives on several occasions to those I trust

not me.

I will not send any merchandise with out payment in full in advance.
as a seller that is part of my terms of sale. I have had a few that expect even with out a
previous history to ship coins in advance of payment. NO way period.

I expect to pay in advance for an item I want to purchase.
and agree to the terms of sale that are stated.

simple enough for me.

I've always paid before expecting shipment of anything. I do however understand the circle of trust thing. About the only time I don't pay before receiving anything is when I go out to eat

Don't pay for the haircut until your happy.
