I couldn't find a post for this on the board via searching (maybe using the wrong terms), so I wanted to toss this out there for some ideas. Here's the question in a nutshell:
What's the safest way online for both buyers and sellers to complete a transaction involving a larger sum of cash? For clarification, I consider a larger transaction to be anything over $500-1000 or more.
Paypal is relatively good for anything smaller, but I'm looking for something more reliable like a reliable escrow service or a middleman where the seller has to hand the item off to in order to accept payment. Has anyone used a service like this, were the fees reasonable, and what was your experience like?
