    Its pretty easy. For one, its all about trust. But since you are new, you will have to send first on all your transactions until you have over 20 deals done. After that you can send at the same time or if you are trading with someone with less than 20 transactions, then they must send fisrt.

    Hope that helps some

    I have done maybe 200-300 trades online and I have only not received twice I belive. It is a pretty trustworthy site and everyone here is pretty trustworthy. Alot of the times the bigger emeny will be the Post Office! I have had some people show proof they send and it never shows up.

    This may help since you have to send first. If its a small trade, keep the receipt from the Post Office that shows the date and where the package was sent to (City/State/Zip). If its a large trade send it with delivery confirmation, so the package can be tracked. If you are not sure which way to go delivery confirmation is always the best way. I would also check the feedbacks of person you are sending to and if they have alot of all positive feedbacks it should be safe to just keep the Post Office receipt for proof.
    I have only had one person rip me off when I had to send first and I didn't keep the receipt for the package I sent. It was a small trade two $15 cards and I didn't send with delivery confirmation either, so nothing was done to correct this. This site is pretty safe to trade on, I've done over 260 trades on here. I would be carefull when trading with other traders with less then 20feedbacks. I would send with delivery confirmation and have them do the same so you can track both packages. Hope this helps and have fun trading..............Jason

    Trust me I think its easy to scam people too, but the system here is very nice.

    If someone has under 20 feedback, they have to send first, which is fair. And everyone that has over 20 feedback is VERY trustworthy.

    Also if any trades get disputed they HAVE to send first from there on.

    If I dont feel safe with a trader, I just wont trade, or I have them send first. I can usually tell by talking to them. If the person has good feedback, you have nothing to worry about. Trust me.

    Start off trading with people that have over 50 trades. That is certainly an indication that they have been honoring their obligation.

    BTW: I have many decent NYG stuff to trade, please check my site.
