What is the name of your state? I live in Arizona, I am purchasing from a man in California
Hello, I am purchasing a bicycle frame for $200 from a gentleman in San Francisco, California. It was an ebay auction that I missed, item didn't sell, and I emailed him and made him an offer which he accepted. I am planning on sending him a $200 cashier's check or money order via registered mail or Fedex signature-required. He provided his first & last name and a home address and telephone number. When he receives the money, he will send the item. Sounds good, but I obviously have to trust that he will send the item. What is the safest way to proceed with a transaction like this? By the way, his ebay reputation consists of 115 positive feedbacks (100% positive), so this is a good sign. I never do business without at least some feedback. Thank you all for your assistance.
