i buy many times..usually take 3-4 days by courier...if not thre, they jus leave it in my door step..but if really expensive items, they leave a callin card so i can call them for re-delivery or pick up frm post office. Also if few dollars extra, got tis trackin nmber on my item so i can use the net to check whether it has been delivered, picked up, etc..

so wen u see a seller...if u see they got 1000+ positive feedbacks..generally u can trust.. their rankin would be sth like 99% feedback ,etc etc.. or 100%...
also same for buyer...if seller see u hav many positive feedback, they trust u more..if u have alot negative feedback..they view u as wastin their time oni..cos sum buyer bid but dun pay, etc...wastin time.
btw,I sold sum games on the net..at same price i bought...well..maybe oni $1-3 discount..haha...at least not wasted..so u can try it too. -
orh, icic...but i bought it through debit card, so my money automatically reduce only after i get the goods or before? coz this is the 1st time i buying through online, singapore dont sell it anymore so online is the only way out 4 me...haha, once again, sorry 4 occupying ur time.Originally posted by alexkusu:i forgot website name...but normally they have tis feeback system...wen u buy sumthing, u satisfied, u placed feeback on the seller... also wen the seller satisfied wit u cos u pay on time, etc... then place feedback on u..........

actually i duno...i never used debit card...normally seller would send the things to u wen they have been paid. They have tis system called safe trader when either u pay the fee or other party or u split the cost...normally bout 3% of items's value. The seller sent the item to u, but u send ur money to tis 'trusted security guy'.. u then hav chance to inspect the item..if satisfied, u can order the guy to release the money to the seller. If not, u send item back to seller n the trusted security guy (normally appointed by the online shop), return back ur money..minus the fee. If u dun wan return the itemn wana keep it..then the guy send the money to the seller anyway..Originally posted by James1:orh, icic...but i bought it through debit card, so my money automatically reduce only after i get the goods or before? coz this is the 1st time i buying through online, singapore dont sell it anymore so online is the only way out 4 me...haha, once again, sorry 4 occupying ur time. -
ic, i understand how the online purchasing system works now. But in my circumstances, i am buying from a shop, not a user leh. Will it be something silmilar to what you just say?Originally posted by alexkusu:actually i duno...i never used debit card...normally seller would send the things to u wen they have been paid.

normally will be safer...cos shops has reputation to protect..sumtime wen shop makes mistake like overchanging twice, etc..u get refund n keep ur purchases for free...my fren bought few medical textbooks...nearly a 1k...but shop didnt process his transaction properly so refund him n give him free booksOriginally posted by James1:ic, i understand how the online purchasing system works now.
