 +==== Can i ask for a deposit before a member receives my offer? ====
 +
 +Yes, but to prevent a possible loss to you and reduce a dependency on needing money, it would be safer to use a non-monetary form of deposit when possible. 
 +
 +An example with using [[numero_set|Numero Set]] for this purpose:
 +
 +In Sharebay's private messenger, type as follows to the member responding to your listing but without the "" Quotation Marks and replace John with the responding member's name:
 +
 +"Hello John, please fill out the following details in these fields in your Numero Set account and hit Transfer:
 +
 +Recipient: 400
 +
 +Description: Lawn mower available to collect
 +
 +Points: 15"
 +
 +The 400 number represents the listing member's Numero Set account number that the listing responder sends their deposit of Numero points to.
 +
 +The 15 number represents the amount of points the listing responder agreed they will send to you upon responding to your listing and starting the transaction.
 +
 +Upon confirmation that the transaction is confirmed, the lister then sends the points back with a transaction confirmation written in the same fields in your Numero Set account as follows:
 +
 +Recipient: 388
 +
 +Description: Confirming Sharebay transaction for Lawn mower available to collect
 +
 +Points: 15
 +
 +The 388 number (John) represents the Numero Set member that responded to your Sharebay listing that you return their points back to. You will see this number in your Numero Set ledger underneath 'Account'. You can identify it by matching it with the description.
 +
 +Description represents the Sharebay listing's title. If the Sharebay member didn't use a title for their listing, write out in the description field an approximate title based on the description in the Sharebay member's listing.
 +
 +You can optionally send some or half of the deposit back sooner if for example the lister has promptly collected the item, but not yet confirmed that the transaction is complete.
 +
 +Review [[https://openaccesseconomy.org/doku.php?id=open_access_directives#alternative_trade_systems|Alternative trade systems]] for more that might be usable for this purpose.
