Default ebay question

I sold an exhaust system on ebay today. I talked to the guy that bought it. He wants me to ship the exhaust the same day he sends the money order. I will have to ship it without recieving any money. Should I do it?, and does anybody have any suggestons. Thanks for any help.

P.S. The guy said he works all day and cannot do a C.O.D. payment

Hell no. When you get the money send the exhaust. Or have him use paypal and then you can send it right away. Or have it delivered to him at work and do the c.o.d. that way. Dont send it until you are guaranteed money though

What's the for? You're absolutely right. Until you have already cashed the money order, or have it PayPal'd to you (until you are GUARANTEED the money), do NOT send the exhaust. DO NOT.

Don't send it C.O.D.! You have to pay shipping PLUS a C.O.D. fee up front, meanwhile if he finds a better deal, changes his mind, whatever, and decides to refuse it, you out all the fees and have to relist.
