You posted this thread in BUY and SELL, whose forum description reads "Have a scope to sell? Or wanna find a good deal? This is your place to buy, sell or trade astro stuff!"

Thread has been moved to Coffee Corner.

Paypal is a system that processes online payments for parties in a transaction, usually by credit card. If you pay someone thru paypal, paypal will charge the amount to your credit card. The receiving party will then receive the funds in digital form in his paypal account. He can then withdraw these digital funds credited from paypal to him from your credit card, into his real bank account. Works the same way if you are the one receiving payment. http://www.paypal.com

Other than Paypal, some astromarters request for other types of payment such as international bank draft, money orders etc...all these will have to be mailed to the person you are buying stuff from and the person will send you your item once your payment has cleared. Paypal is still the most convenient because it's instantaneous. Money orders, international bank dfarts etc...all take some time to be cleared.

You can't see the rating of the astromart people because you probably haven't set up an account with astromart yet. Once you have an account with them and have logged in, you will be able to see everybody's ratings beside their posted ads.

The risk is always there, so we usually minimize these risks by dealing only with those who have earned a decent number of ratings and have good feedback from people who have dealt with them previously. Majority of the astromarters are good, honest people.
