I've dealt with those in Asia, in the past. Always felt Western Union was the safest/easiest/fastest: ( http://www.westernunion.tw/en/location_search.php ) As you can see; they have a number of sites in Taiwan. The buyer would have no excuse not to use them.
How to avoid being scammed?
I wasn't sure where to post this question.
I have a buyer who wants to buy my amp. He has no feedback (neither do I since I have never bought anything on Audiogon.)
He is in Taiwan. I am in the US.
He is offering to pay full asking price on everything I am selling.
He has given me his EBayID, his address in Taiwan, and his e-mail.
I tried Googling his e-mail and it does link to a company in Taiwan.
I have sent him a message on EBay to his EBAYID just to make sure it's actually his account.
I sent an e-mail too just in case.
What else can I do to see if this buyer is legit or not? I am seriously considering not selling it to him since I am paranoid.
Any suggestions on how to confirm someone is legit if they are international?
Thanks.
