.However this does mean that you if you are the successful bidder I will prepare your copy and send it to you BEFORE expecting you to pay. Assuming you are find it proves to be what you expected from the decription all I ask is that you pay preferably by PayPal within SEVEN DAYS of the DVD reaching you.I can make this offer because so far with few exceptions everybody who has purchased a DVD this way has been facinated by the contents of the video they selected and only too happy to pay.
To my mind that seems a very fair way to work for both parties.
