Safe Payment Option

[JustisKaiser]

Hi all,

I am buying a used tuba from an independent seller that needs to be shipped. What payment services do you recommend for ensuring both my and their financial protection? Is the a standard option? I know buying it in person is the real safest way but it is not possible.

Thanks!

You can use the escrow services of a major bank that is common to both of you. Where are the two locations?

PayPal has buyer protection, but there is a fee (usually around 3-5%).
