A bit of common sense when buying would cut out half the scammers.

at the end of the day its not rocket science, i have a bit you want you pay for it i wrap it and send it, why its came down to this now that a few people are wripping the arse out it by giving others a bad name, maybe better if all sellers registered there details with admin to stop any one vanishing with cash
