What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb.


Hi
A non-member contacted me about my add.He said this is his first time buying something on Agon and asked me if i can ship it UPS COD.He agreed to send $100 money order deposit to cover the shipping and COD fee.I am planning on instructing the UPS to pick up USPS money order from him.
Should i go for it or is there something i can get screwed over?I would appreciate your feedback regarding this matter.

cod is ok & i use it from time to time but it can be a bad thing.

i would never ship anything to a greenhorn via cod unless he paid me all the shipping fee's up front & a 25% non refundable deposit as a show of good faith.

on the other hand i request cod for item's that i want to buy from newbee's with only the shipping paid up front,i figure ive earned a little trust with my feedback so shipping fee's are all their gonna get from me.

if your buyer is truly on the up & up he shouldnt mind getting up off a few bucks as a show of good faith,one things for sure if the buyer is squirley about paying a deposit & shipping up front then tell him adios amigos.
