If you really like the item but it is ‘pending’ or ‘reserved’, you can try your luck and send an email to the owner to inform that you would like to buy it if the buyer decided to give up the item or whether the item can be restocked.
3. Place an order
When you found something you decided to buy, follow the instruction in the blog to place an order. Usually, you need to copy and paste a form and fill it in to send to the seller’s email. Better blogshops only requires you to fill in an order form in their blog and click a button to submit. The form usually ask for you name, contact number, address, method of delivery and the item code/name.

After the buyer has reply, confirm your purchase and then arrange payment and delivery method with the owner. If you choose to pay through online banking, bank in into the seller’s account and email the payment details to them. If you choose COD, meet the seller at the agreed date, place and time.
