Receiving Money page

At the risk of repeating myself totally from the main page on moving money, the first rule of any transaction on the 'net is to be CLEAR and CONCISE.

Transactions are not places for implied, assumed or other 'unwritten' conditions. You need to ensure that when you are receiving money for a thing, you have clearly and concisely described that thing in as much detail as you possibly can. If communicating by email, make sure that you include as much detail about some things that are otherwise points of contention which allow silly and needless disputes to arise; these are:

Warranty conditions - If you are saying that the item works, for how long are you warranting that item's working condition considering that you probably do not know the person receiving it.
Return conditions - Who pays for returns, should they need to contact you and if so, how should they contact you before sending something back.
Conditions of use - This is probably the simplest but most overlooked thing in private transactions. If you say it is of professional quality, that item must be suitable for a professional to use in their occupation. If it home quality, it is suitable for use in a home environment but is not designed for long term frequent use. Say you are selling a waxing pot for a hair removal, if it is a home unit, describe it as such. If a beauty therapist buys it from you and you described it as professional quality or salon quality, it needs to be suited to use in a salon environment including safety liability issues.

These things are pretty simple but can bite you on the rear end if you are not clear about them.

When you receive money for a thing, email the sender and let them know it has arrived and when you are sending the item. I tend to use express post packs which have tracking numbers and delivery options for a reasonable price and I send that tracking number by email to the purchaser as soon as their funds have cleared. Be fast, and be clear,.. it will save a lot of angst in the long run.

Who or What is Heimdall:

Reproduced here from the Encyclopedia Mythica™ is a summary by Micha F. Lindemans

I chose Heimdall as the identity of this site as it is my desire to see the advice herein protecting all from harm on the net as much as is possible.

The idea of a naming my site after a protector encompasses this desire.

Heimdall © Encyclopedia Mythica™ (Norse)

Heimdall is the god of light, the son of nine mothers (variously given as the daughters of Geirrendour the Giant or of Aegir). He was born at the end of the world and raised by the force of the earth, seawater and the blood of a boar. Because of his shining, golden teeth he is also called Gullintani ("gold tooth"). His hall is Himinbjorg, The Cliffs of Heaven, and his horse is Gulltop. Heimdall carries the horn Gjallar.

He is the watchman of the gods and guards Bifrost, the only entrance to Asgard, the realm of the gods. It is Heimdall's duty to prevent the giants from forcing their way into Asgard. He requires less sleep than a bird and can see a hundred miles around him, by night as well as by day. His hearing is so accurate that no sound escapes him: he can even hear the grass grow or the wool on a sheep's back. At the final conflict of Ragnarok he will kill his age-old enemy, the evil god Loki, but will die himself from his wounds.

As the god Rig ("ruler"), Heimdall created the three races of mankind: the serfs, the peasants, and the warriors. It is interesting to note why Heimdall fathered them, and not Odin as might be expected. Furthermore, Heimdall is in many attributes identical with Tyr.
