Haha XD
I also like the idea of buying stuff online ... but my dad's against it -__-"
Which makes it harder for me if I want to buy a doll XP

Mainly cause he believes it's unsafe. That the internet is full of scammers ... no, scratch that ... that about 90% of people who sell on the market are scammers >.<
Look at all those pops! So cute >w<
Can the Miku stand on her own? O.o

While I do agree that there are scammers out there, if it's a website like Amazon, it's less than likely to happen. You just have to do your research, and make sure you don't give out information to the wrong people.

ah, understandable but if you use paypal you can have paypal as like insurance of what you buy, etc within a certain business day time frame (generally 30 days).
seriously like what bloodlust said, need to research. I do more online buying than going to the shops buying. I like going to the shops still but admit I mostly buy my clothes from BMC (you know the shiny clothes I share on fb).
Also I always check postage, if it seems too high I tend to not buy. (Specially from USA cause it's soooo expensive and the aussie dollar is shit right now).
Besides you have to keep out an eye for scammers in regular shops too :P
Miku lives in her box because she kept falling over, same with Rin and Len. Sadly they didn't come with the stand that may have helped. :( and I don't want to put blu-tack on my book case.
I'm hoping to remove some of the dolls on top of the case to try to sell/donate so I have room for the bigger pops to go there and put my dalek up there. That way I have more room for other things.

I always do my research. So when I buy BJDs, I always look at their official sites or trusty dealers.
He just really ... doesn't trust people XP
Also, if I use paypal, the insurance won't work if I buy made-to-order BJDs because they take about a month or more to be produced. Then they get shipped, and it's possible that they'll be on hold by customs for a long span of time.
Blu-tack ... I hardly get to use mine XD

I'm pretty sure paypal insurance would work till the item is sent.
or it'd have that extra bit that's for after the item is sent.
I'd have to look at the T&C's.
Ah yeah customs.. glad australia has that one okay cause we don't have a tiny amount like the US or UK. (we can get up to $1000 worth of items before we get custom fees I think, or something like that).
I use mine for my postcards. they're in sleeves so I don't ruin the cards. :)

Paypal insurance only has up to 40 days after the payment is sent.
If I were to buy a doll (only one payment), it might fit in that 40-day period ... but it's a rare thing to have a doll within 40 days.
If I were to have it on layaway ... no chance XP
As for our customs ... that charge for almost anything. If they find out the real price for these dolls ... -shiver-
I ran out of money when my Cyrius arrived ... and it was a sad week for my wallet ... but a happy time for me XP
