Aroc,
How are you protected??? I have purchased items using the MO path through the USPS (signed reciept and insured). This is a "cross-your-fingers" type of move, in that, if the seller decides to keep the funds you can file mail fraud charges. So far it hasn't happened with the transactions I have had but they have all been under $1500. So how does using FedX provide protection?? From an earlier post someone suggested a bank-to-bank transfer. Is there equal or more protection with that type of transaction? My next purchase is going to be around $5,000 and the seller is 1200 miles from where I live. Any advice is thereby solicited and welcomed.
