Default safest way to transfer £500.

i need to pay a member of here 500quid but never met him so i want a method of payment that i could claim on if i didnt recieve the goods.

Pay pal gift i heard is a bit dodgy.
What about if i setup a bank transfer will there be any safety nets?

Cheers luke

bank transfer is lost money
paypal takes a slice if you want protection
free transfer in paypal is no help to you either
safest way, cash on collection

sometimes you have to let it ride and not risk it no matter how cool it could go

First question is whether the user in question is trustworthy? Users that aren't paid up members, recently registered or have a low post count need to be handled with care.

I run a RS500 damper on mine, its a horse shoe shape.

A Bailey one is only a HANGER not a damper
