Well here is my story.. I'm starting a new way to earn online which is selling virtual credit card (VCC) mainly for eBay and PayPal verification. I wrote reviews about this on my blogs and joined several forums to promote my new business. It's quite tough because many people pretend to sell VCC and scam their buyers. But I provide a real VCC and deliver it on time, instantly so far. After about 2 and a half weeks promoting this business, there come one buyer from Italian. She PM me asking about VCC and this ends with one VCC sold. Today, two guys from one of the forums I joined asking me about my VCC. The first one didn't buy the VCC because I don't accept PayPal for a new customer and in addition he wants to use the VCC to verify his PayPal account. So basically he actually can't pay for the VCC because of the unverified account. No sale. The second guy wanted to buy 3 VCCs from me. He seems to be like a first timer use and can't really trust me. He is afraid I'm scamming himself because I just joined the forum on Jan 2009 with only 32 posts. So he want me to send the VCC details to him first to try it out to make sure it works. Of course I can't do this because I don't know him and although he joined the forum about 6 months ago, his post number is just the same amount like mine. So I can't trust him either because I learn from other forum that they usually don't trust member with low post counts. Due to the disappointment of losing my first customer of the day, I ask him to pay half of the card price and then I send him the card details. After receive the card, the have to pay the other half and if he satisfy with the card, he can buy 2 more cards. But the deal end with no sale because he wanted to receive the VCC without paying it first. I think I'm doing it right because I think there is no seller in this world giving their products without the buyer pay for it unless it is a free give. But this guy worth 3 sales and it means a lot to me. Even a single sale means a lot to me. Now I don't know if I'm doing it right. What do you guys think? Help me with your opinion.

Hi, I think u r doing right. Nobody will give products/goods free of charge. But u should only aware that those u r selling will not become scam &n won't harm any buyer. Then its alright. By the way, please give some more info about VCC. I will may also want to buy it. Thanks

well don't trust also those people who wants to receive the goods first without paying who knows they will scammed you.you know yourself very well that you will do your part, by delivering the VCC, but how about the buyer?what if he/she will not do her/his part, by paying you?its just a matter of trust, if they will not trust you then why will trust them? me too, bought a VCC from someone i only read her post in one forum.i'm not a member of that site that's why i don't know if she's ok or not.but i did trust her and kept my fingers cross that she'll not run away after receiving my payment.and luckily, we have a smooth transaction..

That is what I'm afraid, he's not doing his part. Me too bought my first VCC from an unknown guy in a forum post. He is nice and we become friends now :D
