How do people normally send payment for items they buy off people on the net?

I am wanting to buy a part of someone and they would like the money paid into their bank account and then they will send the item by courier to me.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could make sure I don't get ripped off?

Thanks in advance.

I usually pay by cash or money transfer and never had any problems. People are good on here and don't ripp you off. I have dealt with quite a few different people no problems.

Just got to trust peeps.

I have bought a few parts from here, and never had any problems. I think i'd be more wary if the user isn't a premium member, or doesn't use the forum very often.
