Hey guys,

Does anyone (moderators) provide an escrow service on this board? I did a search and found nothing.

^^^ I believe it is a middle-man when buying and selling gear, so that nobody gets screwed over. If in doubt, maybe do it COD.

Nope. But feel free to use Paypal. Its probably the most widley accepted among buyers/sellers.

Yeah, the buyer didn't opffer paypal, but I'll check. As for COD, I've never used it. Can anyone enlighten me, as the buyer requested it (cost(s), security, etc.). Cheers.

IMO COD is one of the safeest ways to do buisness. IF the buyer doesn't pay, he doesn't get the goods. Only problem is for the seller that is on the hook for shipping. Other than that its pretty failsafe.

Hey
Escrow is what was described above by Jeepbeats & Drew. It costs a bit more (was ~2%), not sure of actual cost now since I haven't used it in 4 yearsish. COD is good too, but it is not offered across borders like US seller, CAD buyer or vice versa. (If you know of a shipper that does this reasonably please let me know)
