Basic Safe Selling Precautions

  1. Buy and sell locally. There's no substitute for dealing with someone who lives and works in your hometown.
  2. Don't accept checks, money orders, cashier's checks, or postal checks — especially from distant buyers.
  3. Do not send money by Western Union or wire transfer to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
  4. Don't give out personal info, credit cards numbers, social security numbers, etc.
