Hello fellow ABers,
I had an ad posted in the classifieds mentioning that I would like to trade some juvenile Ts for slings of equal value. A member responded to my ad and we worked out a fairly large trade. I thought that I read somewhere that the person who either initiates a trade or responded to an ad was also the person who would customarily ship first, so I ask him to. I have no reviews, so the member asks if we can ship on the same day. I have no problem with this. The member also notes that he is becoming wary of the trade because I asked him to ship first. I assure him that I am fine with shipping on the same day and tell him that I will be at the post office on Tuesday anyway so that would be the best day for me. In that same message I asked him if he had any reviews because I noticed he was a brand spanking new member.
He responds with this...........
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually can ship tomorrow. I have the money all set aside for it. My father chipped in the cost of shipping for me. So, can you do the same?
And Ive been in the business for almost 9 yrs now and have done many deals like this, and never once have I heard of an "approacher" having to ship first. Thats just whacky. I have been in the service for awhile, so I started a new user acct. So no reviews under this name. I do however have a few people I can refer you to that have dealt with me over the past few weeks if you like. Im worrying alot less now that I see your not from Cali. So, thank you for setting my mind at ease. Im going to head over to my gf's for the evening and there isnt any internet there, so Im going to assume shipping tomorrow is fine. Please include a shipping confirmation #, and I will do the same.

That message was sent to me last night, I have yet to hear from the member today, and tomorrow is tuesday, the same tuesday that I wanted to ship.
What would you do if you were in the same situation
