I usually keep my mouth shut with stuff like this, but it seems to me it is starting to become far to common. For one, the seller, SHOULD NEVER send the product without payment. Those days of trusting people from a distance have past by. There are the few exceptions, example, someone you deal with all the time with no problems and good friends. And second, the buyer (whether your a kid or not), should pay in a timely fashion if someone puts faith in you to live up to your word. At the very least, good communication goes along way. If you are having a hard time coming up with the money, letting the seller know helps alot. Most people are pretty understanding if you let them know what's going on. Just my .02 Damian.
