You request for an advance pay via credit card or Paypal. Anyway the buyer can always file a chargeback if you fail to comply with the outputs. Also do your due diligence exercise in screening out your clients.

Yes thats the perfect advice always ask for advance payment because charge back is possible.

Even that won't work all the time. They could still chargeback the payment after you complete your posting, couldn't they?

Well anyone cant just chargeback without some form of legitimate reason. If that was the case I would charge back everything I have ever bought.

Don't do big business with new members, confirm with mods if user was previously banned or have multiple accounts. Try to do business with people who have good iTrader and reputation.

You should ask for some part payment first because there is always a risk in this kind of business.

Yeah i recommend you to ask for an Advance Payment ..... I dont agree on the part that one should trade with only those who have good iTrader level Coz Too good iTrader level can also be a indication of a scammer who has increased his level thru some small or fake transactions ........

You could always do payments through Escrow. What would your forum users pay for though? :/
