When you buy things online/phone order-Try to avoid...


Remember try to avoid things like discount/cash back...with prepayment by personal check/money order...Always pay by credit cards because they have a protection if problem occurs.
I was trapped by a company in Atlanta. They offered 20% off with personal check prepayment for speakers. Speakers never come. I called them everyday-they kept promise next week, next month, they are on the way...but never see speakers. I had to go through a legal court system and it took me more than a year to take my money back. This is my experience to share with you.

For years, I have been buying and selling via mail or now via the internet and I have NEVER been burned, but I have a few rules:
All deals are either COD cash/cashiers check or with VISA.
Unless the deal is with a local person (eyeball to eyeball), this is the only way that I have done business. If this isn't acceptable to the other party, I don't do the deal. The only exception is with cheap items that if I lost the money, it would be "no big deal".
