Buyer protection question


I notice that many Audiogon sellers do not accept payment via Paypal; they request a money order or personal check. When paying this way, how does a buyer protect himself from the seller simply cashing the check and not shipping the product? I know there are escrow services, but almost no one on Audiogon seems to use them. Thanks.

I feel the best way to go is Paypal, unless it's something I really want and it's a good deal, I will ignore non-paypal sellers(well, if they take CC's, then that's good too but those that do are stores).
