A Seller On Your Site Is Asking Me To Pay Shipping Costs Up Front, What Should I Do?

If you have never had dealings with this Seller before we suggest you proceed with caution - in the past this technique has been used by criminals to defraud Buyer's. The Seller will ask for the shipping fee, in some cases they will provide forged documents to confirm shipping details and then ask for a bank transfer of the shipping amount. The Seller then takes your money and no machinery ever materialises. Please proceed with caution in these circumstances - if possible, have someone you know and trust with the machinery at the place of shipping or transport to ensure that it is indeed on its way to you and most importantly that the machinery in question exists.
