Title: Any tips for web transactions
Post by: tandlh on April 08, 2007, 09:56:32 am
Good morning,
    I've located a camera I want to buy from an individual on the web across the country from me.  We both have paypal accounts.  What are your suggestions, recommendations or lessons learned for completing a private transaction across the country?  I've asked for a scan of his original receipt, and a photo of the box (ideally with matching serial number if Canon puts it on the box).  I've googled the name but didn't get much.  The name he gave me does have a history on photo.net that seems reasonable.  Any other suggestions for how to verify that he has what he says he has and how to make the transaction with some assurance that I won't be left with no money or camera?

Thanks
