Must send first traders?

[roaddogg02316]

Does that basically mean they have to send first and once you get the items in trade they owe you then you can send to them?

Yes, pretty much.

From the SCF Rules:

As the #1 Trading and Discussion site on the net, we garner numerous new members daily. As a new member, it is imperative that you establish yourself on SCF. Therefore, all members with a trader rating fewer than 20 must send first on a transaction. It does not matter if you are buying, selling or trading. If both members have less than 20 feedbacks they must send at the same time. If one member has a permanent MSF tag, they must send first in every instance, even when dealing with new members.

However, SCF does respect and honor all feedback history from the following sites:
Trader Retreat
Hobby Insider
Rusty Soap Box/Sports Card Haven
The Bench
Sports Card Freaks
UCB
NUTS
TCC
NSCF
Hobby Kings
Beckett (as of December 14, 2009)
Blowoutcards.com (as of April 23, 2010)
Dascardboard (as of June 28th, 2010)
Connexionhck.com (as of December 28th, 2010)
Topshelfhockey (as of January 10, 2011)
You must notify a staff member if you would like to bring over feedback from another site in order to bypass the must send first rule. The best way to do so is to post a request in our Feedback Transfer Forum, located in our Meet & Greet Forum.

Also, there are times when issues arise and traders have difficulty completing transactions in a timely fashion or worst case, do not send at all. These traders eventually attain a Must Send First on all transactions badge. Any trader with this badge is required by the site to send first under all circumstances, buying, trading, and selling.

If a member with 20 or more feedback sends at the same time with a member with less than 20 feedback, that member waives his/her right to file a dispute on SCF.

Once both parties have 20 or more feedback, then both parties are expected to send at the same time when trading (unless agreed upon otherwise). As for buying/selling, the buyer is expected to send first and the seller sends upon receipt of payment (unless agreed upon otherwise). Any agreements outside of this protocol should be documented in the Trade Manager.

You cannot create your own must send first rules and place them in signatures or force them on others.
