Sadly the age of dishonesty has arrived within the world of kite sailing etc, and I thought it only existed in E-bay!! I agreed a selling price for my equipment and postage, the buyer (a member of seabreeze) promised me the money had been sent, but, as you can guess, no sign of it. The guy won't even answer any of my e-mails to tell me I've been done over. So, sellers beware. Reguard all as being dishonest, gone are the days of trust!! Mike J

Always bad value to hear stories like this. My inbox is full of russian brides & nigerian money scams every week. Latest is people sending "your credit card statement you requested", but the attached file is a virus.

Lets hope it all pans out, as this would be only the third incident like this out of thousands of transactions via the Buy & Sell.

Perhaps check out Australia Post COD ...

Not 100% foolproof, but getting there...here's what someone else said:

---

* Buyers - if you are thinking of using COD for an expensive purchase because you are concerned you may not receive what you have paid for - COD does not guarantee you will get what you paid for.

* Instead of paying the money to the seller you have the seller send the parcel to your Post Office by COD and you pay the Post Office for the item/parcel, you also pay the postage costs and Australia Post's charges for providing the service.

* When you collect the parcel at the Post Office you have to first sign for the parcel and handover the payment. Only then do you receive the parcel. The Post Office then passes on the payment to the seller.

* When you open the parcel, you may receive what you have paid for, or you may receive something different. If one is dealing with a scammer they are not going to package up and send you what you paid for.

For sellers - COD can be costly and a waste of time if the buyer refuses to collect and pay for the parcel. Post office will return the parcel to the seller/sender and the sender has to pay Australia Post for the service.
