Transferring Tickets Safely

[nickdcook]

Ok so we found a buyer/seller Now What?
what is the safest way to transfer tickets if you can't meet the other party face to face.

Exchange info, Buyer sends funds Via Paypal?
Seller Mails by registerd mail?
When buyer gets the tickets you call ticketmaster or who ever and check to make sure they are real if they are fake notify paypal?

Does that sound right or what is the best way, im suprized there isant a sticky up on this

yeah buy and selling through the mail always seemed kinda sketch to me. if i was selling i would want the money before hand. but if i was buying i wouldnt feel confident that i wouldnt get screwed. and then there is the worry that one of the pieces of mail doesnt get there. i guess pay pal would be safest, but that isnt 100% either.

Couldnt you just set up a private Ebay auction? I have never done it but apparently its possible.

yes you could do that and have slightly more protection. ebay has a few scammers too, but i think probably less frequent than craigslist
