Yeah, use paypal. And DO NOT CHOOSE THE SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS OPTION. Use the "buy good or merchandise" option and if he bitches about paypal fees suggest to pay them yourself. Thats how I have done business with people I meet online, it offers all the protection you need. I really didnt mind paying the small fee.

Any reason not to do this? I've found PP always charges a fee. And imo it's not small.

The sender wouldn't have as much protection. The fee for paying for goods or services is 2.9% + 30 cents, so not terrible. Especially for peace of mind when dealing with a complete stranger.

Hey all, I realize this is technically a necro but since it is my post I thought I would cut down on thread clutter. I wanted to update all those that helped me me. william-james88, Tyrannacon. My collection has grown quite extensively! I managed to pick up a cheap barely used, never transformed Apollyon(Which I DO NOT RECOMMEND, wow what a chore of a figure) and then I picked up Despotron. Despotron is glorious and my personal favorite. I Also jumped in dep and got a G1 Megatron. Complete but worn, got repro labels and spent some delicate time restoring him. Also added the entire wave 1 Titans Return and finished backordering most of Combiner Wars. Bought a glass case fromm IKEA. Things are loking good. I have Seibertron.com and the contacts I made here to thank. I'll make a new thread with pictures of my collection soon. Thanks all!
