RESEARCH TIPS:
Here are some tips in researching sellers and buyers in the "Classifieds" forum:
SHIPPING TIPS:
- One way to research a user is to click on their user name which will take you to their personal profile. If they have been a member a short time with few messages posted, be aware. If they do not fill out their name, email, and so on, in their personal profile, be aware. Ask the following questions:
- has the user been a member for very long?
- has the user posted other messages, unrelated to buy/sell gear?
- did the user include their name, address, email in their personal profile?
- If you or anyone with whom you inquire is not familiar with another user, be aware. Ask the following questions:
- has this user been previously involved in buy/sell transactions in the forums? If so, contact persons via Private Message and make appropriate inquiries of those who have had transactions with that person.
- is the user someone well known in the forums?
- does anyone else know the user? (ask this question in the buy/sell forum)
- sometimes, you can "google" the user's handle and/or email to discover and research their participation in other forums.
Pretty simple really, ship with insurance and tracking. That way, you have evidence that shipment was received. If shipment wasn't received, the shipper will (theoretically) reimburse you for the insured value.
UPS automatically provides tracking numbers which can be used at their online website to track progress of your shipment. They also automatically insure packages for $100 and will increase insurance for $1 for every additional $100.
Thanks, and let's keep building a warehouse of "bicycle and biking knowledge".
