whats the safest way to buy wheels from someone on a forum?

i.e. , if worst happens, which payment used would i have most comeback?

i was going to pay by cheque.

or is paypal better?

or amn i screwed either way if i get bumped?

pay thru paypal but pay with a credit card i used my credit card thru paypal a while back and it covered me for a botch job sale

paypal would not refund me so i reported paypal to my credit card issuer and my card issuer took them on as if they were comitting fraud and i got all my money back thru credit card protection

Cash on collection and take a mate with you is the best way if possible.

use your credit card in paypal (though paypal doesnt always look into the claim rightly)..if anything goes wrong, you can do a charge back (if you can)

but best is cash on collection/receipt if possible and a friend as witness...As always, check item before paying

but payapl
