Title: How do I look at a potential buyers history?
Post by: Rookwood on June 10, 2013, 11:41 pm
Got a message from someone asking for a custom order but when I click on his name it just goes to send message. I just wanna verify they are legit because it's a large order.

Can anyone help with this? I hate that I have to post in the noob section because I bet a lot of experienced vendors never drop by here. You think if you drop half a grand to become a vendor you could post in the goddamn forums man. Instead it's this or be a douche and make 50 useless topics.

Guy wants to do a big custom order, I just wanna know if I can check out the info he is telling me such as his buying history. If I ship and get tracking then I WILL get paid right? He has to pay before I ship and if he doesn't release funds and I have the tracking number I'll still get paid? Any help here guys would be awesome.

The only way you can see a buyers stats are if they place an order with you. You could set up a free listing and ask them to order it; then you could see their stats.

Or else you could ask them to place the custom order and if you don't like the stats, you could cancel the order. If you do this, make sure the order isn't hedged or the customer will lose 4% of their money (hedging fee) if you cancel the order on account of not liking their stats.

Hope this helps :)

That does help. Thanks man. :)

Oh one more thing. So I would change my setting to expose escrow? It says that's not recommended. Will I lose money if I cancel?
