seller has a pricey part that I want, others want it too.

he does not use paypal

I want to overnight the payment, but I want to be backed somehow if he tries to screw me

any ideas?

 

Western Union?

 

Have someone from this board deliver the $ (or steal it from you )

I had a guy in SOCAL pick up a set of wheels for me one time.... pretty cool people on this board.

 

this is not a safe way to send money

 

Not trying to stir things up, but the majority of things iv'e heard about western union is not good. All those ridiculous online scam artists always ask to be paid via western union. From what i hear, it's sometimes hard to trace where the money is going or theres some loop hole involved with it that crooks can use.

I would try to get a local member to pick it up for you, or possibly request to pay by C.O.D. Anyone who won't accept paypal is kinda sketchy in my book. Good luck, don't get burned.

 

USPS or something and get insurance

will that work?

 

if both parties have a wells fargo account...
you can tranfur money from one account to another on the wellsfargo.com site

 

^well you can wire money with almost any bank account he needs to find somethin if he doesnt get his product from buyer then he is screwed.

 

I looked more into the Western Union thing and its bs. even their website says NOT to send money to anyone you dont know.

 

You know, I don't think we need Western Union to tell us that.

...but they still have to for liability reasons. I bet they get problems like this all the time.
