What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb.

Dave, speaking only for myself, I would never go to someone's place I don't know, have them come to my house, or meet them somewhere. I knew a guy who sold his corvette to someone. When the guy came to his house, he shot and killed him and stole the corvette. Pretty gruesome story but after hearing what happened to him, I prefer dealing with people over the internet.

i think people with no feedback should go by the seller rules,until he build up his feedback and then he can lay his own demands,we all have to start from the bottom. justmy opinion

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.

Overhang,

You have all the credibility here, and your buyer has none. My buddy lost about $4K sending a Rolex COD--forged check. As others have mentioned, if you are willing to run the risk of not getting your money, go right ahead. I absolutely would not do it myself.
Best of luck,

Howard
