Default Risk Free Buying

:boxing:

Maybe it's just me but it sure seems like there's been an increase in rip off's on RC Universe, ie. people sending payment and then the seller vanishes and they never get their goods. I had a near loss of several hundred dollars a couple of months ago and since then have become very leary of sending my money to a total stranger. I noticed RC Online now has a Risk Free Buying option where payment is first sent to a mediator who holds the money until the buyer receives the goods and then when the buyer is satisfied with the purchase the funds are sent from the mediator to the seller. The fee for this is anywhere from 2-5% depending on the transaction amount. I sure wouldn't mind paying a little extra for this kind of insurance, it's better than getting stiffed for several hundred bucks by some lowlife. Is this something that RC Universe could offer also, especially since you guys are a much larger and organized than RC Online?
