Buying on line

[Hunter]

I have a question about buying stuff on line. I have never bought anything "online". I prefer to meet the person and exchange money for the item or order from a reputable dealer or store. I have ran across a deal that I really would like but, distince and time would not allow for a face to face meeting. So how do you guys/gals that buy from individuals "online"? If I send this person money how do I know that my item will be sent to me? What is the best way to do this so that both parties aren't worried about loosing out?

I buy stuff online all the time. Works great. I've bought from people and stores. Just go with your gut....It's 2009....Time to get OK with the idea of online buying

LOL!! yeah I know it's 2009 but, my paycheck looks more like 1909 and I can't afford to loose acouple hundred bucks. I feel the man is legit and have since talked to him and he has made me feel more secure about the transfer. Thanks for the responces.
