We have had notices from *br*: Pagan shop owners, craftspeople and vendors on the internet *br*: that there is a group of rabid Christian jerks who have been *br*: ordering lots of stuff, waiting just long enough for the *br*: vendor/shop keeper to place the order with their suppliers *br*: (even to getting the raw materials to make handmade *br*: specialty orders) and then cancelling the order.  This means *br*: that the Pagan vendor is out the amount of the *br*: goods/materials (at least until he can get a refund... IF he *br*: can get a refund).  We have discussed procedures for when we *br*: bring the market online for double checking to make sure *br*: that all orders are valid so our people dont get taken.  *br*: Apparently, they were backtraced and discovered who some of *br*: them were... I seem to remember that they were operating *br*: mostly out of Florida.  *p*Yup, and I have tracked down a number of pagan that o thid very same thing.  In truth, anything you go to sell on the internet will find this problem, regardles of the faith of the individuals.  I have this problem on my site, I tend to charge by credit card and _make_ them deal with their credit card company, and on continued cases, the card company and the justice department for fraud.*p*: Anyway, that was the original thinking for keeping stuff *br*: inside the firewalls.  However, if you're willing to take a *br*: chance on stuff out on the public web, we're certainly *br*: willing to consider it.*p*Whichever you guy feel is best.  There are risks to anything you do on the net, but I still like the wider audience.*p*Michael
