Selling on Agon question

Hi, I have an ad out, and someone with no feedback, from Mexico City, has expressed interest.

I am slightly wary, are there precautions I could take to ensure I don't get burned?

I was thinking:

-Insist on bank check/money order, wait for funds to clear before shipping.

-Ship UPS and choose the option to have the buyer have to sign for the item

Does that cover me?

I am wary of accepting paypal for this transaction as disputes usually go to the buyer, and this person could claim the item was damaged and ask for money back or something like that.

Any thoughts based on your experience would be much appreciated.

Insist on a wire transfer - safe and very efficient - and you are in control. When ever I ship out of the country it is the only way I do business.

Don't let the issue of no Feedback hinder the sale - you too once had no feedback. If the guy is for real the $ will show up in you account - then just ship in a verifiable way with tracking and the deal is done.

Best of luck

Marakanetz - by submitting your account information required for a wire transfer you do not really reveal anything that is not already printed on checks you presumably hand out to a lot of folks anyway - its the safest way to conduct business as a seller.

Best of Luck
