Theres a guy selling something on here that I want, as i dont know him and he hasnt been a member for long whats the safest way to do the deal. He doesnt have paypal which I thought was the best way.
He may be a genuine guy but theres so much scamming going on I dont want to loose my cash.
Any advice please.

Is it to far to pick it up ??

Thats the only way I would do it unless he or she have been on here a while with a good rep...........

Play it safe mate.

Everyone has paypal these days, maybe he can set one up

You could get him to provide you a landline contact number, then check that it is his number....

Send a Cheque to him special Delivery, as this is signed for, and it also cannot be forwarded to an alternative address. so you know the address is correct.

Also ask for digital photo's of the Item.
