Hey guys.

im pretty new to this and i was just wondering.

from all you guys with experience of trading with others on here.

whats the best and SAFEST way to buy a product. and not get ripped off or your money stolen with no product?

i plan on buying some rims. i just want to know. if i do direct deposit. and i dont recieve the rims say in a week ?

can i refund the money back. or is it lost ?

this will really help me. and sorry but i have no clue what to do with this stuff. so any replies will help me alot !!

thanks very much

Chris.

Trader Rating is your best bet mate.

If you do a direct deposit and you get nothing, you can't get your money back unfortunately, unless you paid with a cheque, then you have 3 days clearance time.

pick up or get someone in that area t o go look for you. thats the only way I'll do it. personally for large items.

COD.. you pay a little extra for the service but at least your not handing monies over to someone without receiving..

1. Buyer beware

2. Common sense

3. Research seller. Check past posts, get an idea of who seller is and whether they are active in the sau community or just here to sell. Trader rating is useful but not full proof

4. Be wary of new sellers with few post counts

5. If it's too good to be true, it often is.

6. Pick up is best but not always possible. If interstate seller keep all corespondence and get as much details where possible of seller

Have bought plenty off the forums over the years no problems so far.
