buying and selling on the internet?

[solo]

What are some safe ways to buy and sell over the internet besides e-bay and cod's? Is there some way banks can hold the money until the package arrives or something like that? This is mostly a ? for buying and selling off the clasified forums and not getting ripped off. TIA

Use an escrow service...

Escrow is good! like Miguel posted.

also make sure you get a contact phone number of the person buying and/or selling... call them and shoot the shit for a few... make the deal more personal than business (in a matter of speaking)!

Also ask others on other boards if they have bought stuff from that person or sold stuff to that person!
