Yeah but it would get abused. You can also always trust a 'premium member' as if something goes wrong I have all their registered credit card addresses on file...

Or they have been with us a long time and you've seen their posts around etc...

I'm not saying we guarantee 'premium members'.... just saying if something did go wrong and it went to legal preceedings I have a bit more information on them (so it would be silly for them to try and rip people off)...

Buy from someone who is well known and if they're not, post. No-one straight is going to object to a request for feedback.

ps and OT - Drew, that pic is fantastic.

use paypal, because to use it your account has to be verified by putting a pin code in that comes on your statement. This way if anything goes wrong you can inform paypal who will have all bank details and therefore an address for them etc.

to be honest. . . redsxi is very honest. . . and if he looks like a new user. well he aint. . . he just changed his user name. . . . the old one was sumin like black_corsa_sxi or sumin or other! if in doubt then meet the person face to face. . . itz the easiest way!
