Re: [AVR-Chat] Re: The cost of money ...

2004-09-23 by Ken Holt

My experience as a small supplier from a website has been generally
favorable, mostly because some trust is first established between the
buyer and the seller.  We usually use a personal check, sent through the
regular mail, made out in US dollars, if from another country.  Although
delays are inherent, we usually ship the product, ( a $49 electronic toy)
even before we receive the check, if the buyer says they have mailed it.

For buyers who don't want to use a personal check, we are able to use
a friend's credit-card-enabled website, and lose a small transaction amount.
