I was wondering if any of you had any good ideas on how to go about a trade with someone who is new on the forum. Sales via PP are pretty easy because you have the money, but trades can be a little sticky. Any ideas?
If the person is new to the forum I would ask that person to send the trade first – you can provide references from other forum members who have done business with you. Like me! I was very happy with how well you packaged the dragon I bought. It does take a leap of faith on the other person’s side but like I said – you have a history of satisfied people and if the other person is new he/she can always check with other forum members. Just my 2 cents.
That’s a great suggestion!
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmWhether its a sale or a trade I reccomend tracking numbers, this way you have proove that you sent out your package and the other person can proove the same. Not to mention when your sending things over the Canadian/US border and they are taking a while its nice to check with a click of button where in North America your package is :).

I did think about this, but the only problem is that tracking just proves you sent a package, not what is in it. I would be worried that the package only contained a candy bar or something. 😀
I will ask if the person would take a leap of faith. They are really new here, so I dont know if they would trust me.

Of if it’s sitting in customs. My poor Sun Male got stuck there for 3 days. But he’ home now and he’s safe.

Its usually pretty random whether they check your package or not. It seemed though for a period of about 3-4 months they checked everything shipped to me and also charged me an extra $20-$30 for the inconvenience and wait.
Luckily most of the time tracking numbers will say its sitting in customs so you can see what the delay is :), at least when I have been checking the status of my goods!!.
One time tracking though, it went to Quebec (Canada) from America then back down to the states and back to Quebec and I think they actually charged me double customs becase it was almost a $60.00 custom fee…grrrrrr thats enough to buy a whole small windstone!!!!.
Stupid question? Do Americans also get charged a customs fee when we ship things over the border?
wow can I go off topic or what?.
Nope, we dont get charged customs to send or receive stuff. I think its cuz the PO robs us on stamps. 😀

AMEN! 😆
What a bummer. I want to do this trade, but she wants to ship at the same time. I just cant do it. :negative:

Not necessarily. I had to pay customs for the Female Sunburst Griffin I bought from a Canadian forum member.

Really? How come? I have never had to pay customs from anywhere, and I have received stuff from Switzerland, Canada, Germany, everywhere in the us, Iraq… Were there special circumstances or something, like COD stuff?skigod377 wrote:Tyrrlin wrote:skigod377 wrote:Nope, we dont get charged customs to send or receive stuff.

I was so happy to get the griffin that I just whipped out my checkbook (it had to be a check for some reason) and told myself it was worth it.
