Need info on a trade
I responded to an ad on rj about an electric shifter an man has. I sent messages that I have some new spare parts that he would be interested in as trade. I called him and we spoke and everything seems on the up and up but I am a little leary about sending parts in hopes that I recieve mine in return. I am in tx and he is in canada so way too far to trade face to face, If it goes bad I just lose out. Anyway, he said that he has to pay a duty on shipments coming from the u.s. I can understand that. Although I know nothing about it. He said I could save him money by writing it as a gift when sending it. Something like happy birthday or something to that effect. Anyway, how can I send and recieve parts and be sure they go both ways? Also, can I find out if he has good feedback status on rj? Or, is there a way to search for scammers just to see if his name comes up? His username is mark78ta on rj if that helps anyone help me. thanks.
