  I’ve known for some time of e-commerce sites for independent vendors to ply their
wares, where the transactional funds are in one form or another held in escrow,
brokered by the site until the transaction is completed to the satisfaction of
the buyer. I suppose in some circumstance and to a degree, the seller’s as well…

Until now I've held negative feeling towards these types of full-control
ideas. Well, my daughter with her newly found interest, has been expanding our
online selling footprint in her spare time. Mostly about putting into practice
what she's been learning. As a result I now have some experience with just
such sites, allowing thus far a “change of heart” towards this type of selling
environment.

Haven’t really examined why it is I don’t mind being out of pocket for a time,
that is no money and no product for a period. But as it turns out, I don’t mind
that which I thought I would. Guess I learned something new about myself in the
process, always a good thing.

Maybe getting fatter prices too, has something to do with the “don’t mind” part

I might be missing the mark here, but I love the principle of internal affairs.
Protecting a rising consciousness from our own predatory instincts. Including,
to some extent, over-harvesting our gratification. I think it's healthy for
younger people to begin with the mindset that they don't own their bank balance
(or payments), before Uncle Sam eats it and allows you to dig in.

...a missed opportunity?

Enjoy your inputs, Caleb. Especially the often provocative ones. They get the
rusty wheels spinning. Thanks

And thanks for the store plug too Didn't know we had any more of that card
left in stock, gotta go take a look now...

Apparently your minifigures sell too well. Not a single Vader left
