- What's this bullshit?
-
- "Prepaid only" -- as if we're supposed to trust him and when he's not
- going to trust a customer? Buyers get burnt as often as sellers, buddy.
-
- The idea is to say "prepaid OR COD", not "COD if you buy lots". Offer
- a choice of trust; if the buyer wants to pay $5 in COD fees for a $10
- software title -- let them!
-
- Otherwise this whole "prepay only" nonsense should be read as "Looking
- for sucker to screw over -- unless you're very rich and can afford to
- hire someone to beat the shit out of me if I fuck you."
-
- Sheesh.
-
- I suppose that a lot of newbies haven't been badly burnt yet. Ah, well.
