Sorry to hear that nowornever...hopefully it'll come soon. Although I remember chatting with merc a time or two and he seemed like a legit seller and a cool guy to boot. Hopefully it all gets resolved.
U will be enlightened, "dude".
Did I say something wrong?
I am just worried, that's all. I have been quite patient and I always try to be polite. I know: I don't speak English and I can be a bit schoolar in my manners but it's because I want to be careful.
Are you a friend of Merc, Ski? Then tell him to reply me...
No, I was talking to Jaws, I am no puppet either
How do you go about buying from fellow members? Private ebay listing? Seems the only proper way.
I bought two statues from fellow members and I'm on my third now. Basically communication is key. First ask for all detailed info about the statue and request pictures. After thy agree on a price including shipping. Lastly comes form of payment and and if it'll all be a once or in payments. Always use paypal and select goods. Another good thing to do is repost the terms when you and any money. Basically if someone is shady they are likely to show their true colors somewhere along the way.

It's pretty much on faith on the system here on the boards, but you can obviously tell whose here everyday and whose a new member, etc... or who the old school veterans around the boards that have done business with several other members of community.
I... myself wouldn't deal with money orders, western unions, checks, etc.... Always use paypal and always use a credit card for the extra protection in case paypal cannot help you on certain situations. Do I use the gift option, sometimes I do but it's only with people I've known for years and have dealt with several times.
Ask for the members eBay transaction feedback and also check the feedback here on the boards in the commerce/marketplace section
Thanks Ski, you're not as bad as they say you are.

Thanks!
Anytime
Thanks Ski, you're not as bad as they say you are.
My work is done here!
I've purchased 7 items through these board. Everything went as smooth as a baby's bottom. Actually feel safer dealing through here than eBay.
