how to buy with confidence...? PayPal?

............I have bought from ppl that have just jumped on this board to ppl that have lots of posts........not really any problems.......ask alot of questions till ur satisfied, if ur not pass on the item, u can always reach out to another member or a maderator for help................kim......
Agreed on the ask others method.I sold a hotord once to a guy online from out of state for $7000.He wanted to have it shipped to him instead of making the trip down.He bank wired me the money and the truck was on its way to him.Later on a few people i know here local that are on this other website told me that a man contacted them about me and the truck .He basically verifed the info i had gave him about the truck and asked questions about me before he sent me the $$.Was i mad when i found out ? Hell no ,and i didnt blame him one bit for checking up on me.$7000 is alot of money to lose...
