Dirty Harry

iTrader: (12)

Ok I thought I would post a few dos and donts of buying and selling parts between private indivuals as of late there has been a number of people not getting what they have paid for

SELLER
1.make sure you send any parts you sell recorded delivery with a track and trace number,its worth the little extra cost
2.make sure you insure the item for the amount you have sold it for and if it gets lost or damaged YOU are liable to refund your buyer,insist on this and if the buyer refuses to pay the extra get it in an e mail stating this,you can then get a proof of post cetificate to proove YOU have sent the goods,which WILL cover your ass
3.make sure you send the goods within a reasonable time scale
4.keep in touch with your buyer incase anything crops up which may delay you sending the goods,
5.make sure any item is well packed and protected against damage as courier companies will do anything to get out of paying a claim

BUYER
1.insist on a track and trace service
2.insist and pay the extra insurance
3.get a home address of the person selling the goods
4.keep a record of payment
5.make sure you both keep in conatct
6.if your too tight to pay for the extra insurance insist on a prof of post certificate
7.ask when you can expect the goods and ask to be informed when they are sent

BEWARE SOME BUYERS SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECIEVED THE GOODS AND THEN TRY TO CLIAM A REFUND THIS IS WHY YOU MUST ALWAYS SEND ANYTHING NO MATTER HOW EXPENSIVE RECORDED AND BE ABLE TO TRACK AND TRACE IT

Follow these simple rules of buying and selling and then we wont have to read all the silly name and shame posts,and then theres no excuses
