Stingray- I have used iescrow once for a transaction at the sellers request. Worked like a charm and provides protection for both parties. I'm not familiar with tradenable. BTW, I have completed about 20 purchases here in the last year, all have been trouble free. However, with larger purchases, I would phone and talk, if they won't use escrow service or ship COD, then I would be careful.
Thank you. You have affirmed my basic thoughts. By the way i=escrow is now tradeable. My basic concern has been that they slow down your transaction and are making extra money on the side. It seems isf you wire them money they charge 2.0%. If you use your credit card it is 4%. I knoow that trust is part of internet sales but I feel that if you are not dealing with a friend or know reutable dealer you could get hosed.
I was also wondering, I think I should insure shipping at retail eplacement cost. This would protect the buyer and the seller if the product is damaged in shipping. Your thoughts.
I have used I-escrow with great results. The money is worth it for large transactions from sellers you don't know.
