I have had great experiences with every member here. Just picked up an item that I paid for with PayPal in advance, and am extremely happy to have met the seller/member. I have bought several items, and everything has been exactly as described or better. Just do your research. Read their posts, google the person, check the address. If any part of the transaction seems off, just don't do it.

In my opinion PayPal is the way to go. Just keep in mind that if you open a new account PayPal will hold your money for some time. Usually no more than 14 days after the transaction, but it can be extended. Just don't get nervous if is shown as "pending". Make a note to the buyer that they will be buying it "as is" and it is not returnable. Do this in the message area of the PayPal transaction just in case there is a dispute. Make sure you get a tracking number, and if it makes you less nervous, also ship with signature conformation required. Good Luck
