Hi Maha,then dont send any money to a screen name.
send to:
people who give you a name you can find on the net with an address;
seeing real time or close to it a pic of the product. and perhaps a pic of him with the product.
doing business with those that have positive ratings
people with lots of posts here and been around for a few years
getting a phone number and actually talking with the seller and verify that phone number corresponds to what you see with his name on a search with google.
use paypal with a credit card and get double protection.
just for a start. there are more.
i cant imagine those sending money to someone they dont even know their name or where they live. then you simply get what you deserve. as a sucker is born every minute.

Hi Texas,PayPal,each seller has reputation you can view on transactions, not as good as it once was but still there,
Hi Jimmy Co,I use Paypal with my Citibank credit card.
In the rare event Paypal won't step up, Citi will, no exception.
Done that a few times. Folded it up in paper first, stuffed in an envelope and off it went. Worked so farWorld-renowned cuemaker Kevin Varney had suggested cash in an envelope, sent through the regular U.S. Mail.

I would start by researching the seller that you're considering doing business with. Check their feedback, ask around, etc. There are some fantastic folks to deal with here at AZB. Unfortunately, no site is without the occasional unscrupulous individual. I can't stress enough...do your homework. An ounce of prevention is worth potentially several thousand dollars worth of cure.I just don't want to get taken advantage of. Looking for smooth transactions?
