Best way to make transactions on classifieds

I'm trying to sale my Jelly Head choke and was just curious what way is preferred on here? It's hard to ship an item and not know if I'll receive the payment in return.

About like any other forum on the Internet. I wouldn't buy off someone with 1 or 2 posts that joined just for the purpose of selling something. I can tell you that this is a great forum to buy and sell from if you deal with anyone that's been around a little while. But I would never ship an item before receiving payment.
Also, if you pay with paypal and get burned you can file a claim with them.

You need to post a actual picture of the item ( forum rules )  then a good asking price ..., once you have received payment then......send the item to the new owner

Know who you are dealing with if you are buying ---

I've had people tell they have listed items and they lasted only minutes before they are sold , other times it can sit forever then all of a sudden people are asking for it --

Yeah I'm selling the item. Just wanted to make sure I don't get burned. I don't have the most post on here but I'm def a honest person and would never jip anyone of their money!

I never ship until I receive payment.  I only accept Paypal...yeah I know, but it's convenient...or a postal MO.  Both have advantages with Paypal you can file a claim and likely get your $$$ back, if someone rips you off.  With a postal MO, if you get ripped then it's mail fraud, and you could land someone in Fed court, if you so desired.

Paypal..quick,easy and safe as long as you don't send as a gift..i got burnt sending payment as a gift to one loser scumbag..my mistake,you live and learn...it was only for $30.00 and he was banned from selling on that forum....
