What Guarantees do i get when i buy something? (ensure i dont get scammed)

[StTriggerHappy]

Basically, I just want to make sure that theres some sort of system and theres little chance of me getting my mony stolen for no return. Just cause im planning on spending £330 (no small sum of money) on a second hand vanguard creed. Is there any checks i should do? etc. could really use some help on this, dont want to end up £330 short

Who is the seller ??

See if anyone knows the guy and see if he is well know etc

And def use the rules they are there to help

If your worried, just use PayPal and use their security instead of Payment owed. Costs more but if your worried its worth it

can see you have posted on the 'for sale' section to a guy selling a creed....

now i dont know the guy but if I was buying,

I would look at how long the guy has been on the forum..... and the guy selling the creed has been on since 2004, so thats a good start

I would look at his post count and may be look at what his posted or sold previously.... has he get good feedback? was everyone happy last time he sold something?

and then if I was still unsure may be ask the guy selling, can any other members vouch for him... the paintball world is close knit community and everyone who is a good guy can usually get three four people to vouch for them.

EDIT Just Noticed LUMP vouched for the guy, thats as good a vouch as you need I would be more than happy dealing with that guy.

hope that helps

^ as the other guys have said id look how long hes been on the forum for see if hes sold anything before, theres no harm is asking for someone to vouch for them and the marker..

other than that use paypal and dont send it payment owed send it for goods then if the marker no shows its easy to get your cash back.s
