I would also insist on shipping with a tracking number or have it in writing that the buyer accepts any risk that comes with shipping without tracking and insurance.
Selling on Agon question
Hi, I have an ad out, and someone with no feedback, from Mexico City, has expressed interest.
I am slightly wary, are there precautions I could take to ensure I don't get burned?
I was thinking:
-Insist on bank check/money order, wait for funds to clear before shipping.
-Ship UPS and choose the option to have the buyer have to sign for the item
Does that cover me?
I am wary of accepting paypal for this transaction as disputes usually go to the buyer, and this person could claim the item was damaged and ask for money back or something like that.
Any thoughts based on your experience would be much appreciated.
