Escrow.com


why not..someone mentioned escrow.com before..


Or you could send COD..Using FedEx Or UPS..

Do not, I repeat, Do not use USPS for COD..(thats if you are even located in the united states)

Using fedex, they only accept money order (i think) for cod..

usps accepts anything..such as personal checks..Be very wary of accepting personal checks...

The safest way for both the buyer and the seller Is Fly and Buy.

2) Escrow.com / Other LEGIT Escrow Service
3) LC
4) Credit Card
5) Paypal

Safest for seller is Fly and Buy then T/T

Guru mentioned earlier Documents Against Acceptance earlier... If I could I would like to elaborate on it a bit.
Documents Against Acceptance (DAA) is like using escrow, but instead of using escrow, it uses another thrid party.... UPS or FEDEX for example.
Basically, the bank holds an account with your payment money in it. They cannot release it until they receive the shipping details (tracking number etc) and purchase order directly from UPS (or other shipping third party). So basically, the seller is guaranteed his money, because it is held by the bank, to be released immediately when the said bank receives confirmation of shipping by UPS (the third party). It sounds elaborate and a little confusing, but its not too difficult if you can get your bank to set it up.
Unfortuantely, most banks won't deal with small fry orders if it involves DAA.
Just a note, DAA is normally used internationally, but can still be used nationally. Also, it was invented by the Japanese.... smart guys eh?
