I guess it’s kind of hard to hold people accountable on this sort of site…at least in the beginning?

I feel your pain, though. I just had 2 different bidders on ebay flake out after I had paid the shipping (but at least I hadn’t shipped the items yet)!

It’s extra lame when it happens on eBay, since they’ve got millions to invest in stopping it.

Yeah that Hilary Lamb chick really pissed me off too. I spent 21 dollars sending a package to Canada! The number of people flaking out has definitely made me a lot less enthusiastic about this… which sucks, cause this site is a really great idea.

btw, Karma is a useful tool that everyone should very much pay attention too. Totally.

yeah that sucks Kyli that we were scammed. Karma is VERY useful and yes we should have the other ship our items before we even ship theirs. Lesson learned.

What about using mail tracking? (not sure how much that costs) Or buying postage through paypal so you can send confirmation emails when you send?

I’ve thought about putting some sort of tracking system in place so that if the users agree to it they enter their tracking numbers so the other person can keep an eye on the items. There are a couple of problems with that though.

Today I received a package which was my package sent to Hilarylamb. She did not claim it and had it returned to sender which was me! I get my items back but I lose out on postage money which was $23.00! I guess… getting my items back is okay but it’s still sucks that I lost out on $23. I want 23 cheeseburgers you know. Anyway, Hi :)

That’s pretty random, I gotta say.

Hmmm makes you wonder just how long post offices hold items before they’re returned to sender… In any case, glad you got your items back and glad you stayed, Henley!!
