Reselling dedicated servers

    Hi, I was thinking over the last couple of days how risky is it to resell dedicated servers? I just had a order the other day for $200 that I sent out about an hour after it was placed and in the morning when I awoke the funs were gone and the guy reversed the payment from his bank so paypal said theres nothing I can do, so basically I got screwed out of $200 bucks but since it was for a hosting package I could easily terminate it. But think about it with say a real dedicated server being resold, I would actually be out of the money.

    Would you guys say to verify the person via say a phone call prior to me ordering the server from the company or make clients for larger orders go through max mind for example?

    What are your thoughts on this? What are ways to combat being screwed over? I would really hate to get a order for a server, order it myself and then have the same thing happen again :( I've had fraud orders before but I just was hoping to start selling dedicated servers here soon and thought it would be a good idea to talk to some of you here prior to getting this rolling.
