I never spend the money till the buyer tells me he is happy.
+1 Is there any other way?
This is a great policy to follow. However, I have been in a tight spot before....we all have. I have spent money before that I didn't have(credit card). I am not going to disperidge Mark or cast stones at him. I have never walked in his shoes. Mark is a good friend of mine here on the fire. He has done several very nice things for me. I have also been witness to him doing great things for others here as well. I am personally going to give him the benefit of the doubt because of his past history with me as well as others. Two bad transactions out of the several hundred does not make him a bad apple...much less dishonest.
