The potential always exists for either party to get burned. However, as fellow reefers it is unlikely to happen. I have just bought a light from a reefer in BC. He asked for the money up front. I had no problem with that, so I transferred $65.00 by Interac. He then shipped the item, and asked for $20.00 for shipping. I sent that too I checked the tracking number, and know the package is in the mail. I still have not yet seen what I paid for, but I trust the seller, even though we have never met.

I have done the same thing with other members of this board, and have as yet to be burned.
