I want to buy a firearm from a person on the internet but want to know the best way to pay.
I was going to go through a escrow accout but many I have checked do not take credit cards.
Iam thinking of  sending money orders (a local store will take CC). What do you guys think? Is sending MO's safe? Maybe I should just trust, but im alittle sceptical of sending money to someone I dont know.
Thanks

US Postal Money order is the way to go.  Get a real address not a PO Box.  If he screws you he has committed Mail Fraud.  

Go to the buying tips section in the Parts area of the Equipment Exchange for more info.

I personal like paypal. aslong as the seller is verified the buyer has protection through them and you can use a CC.

despite all the bad press for PayPal around here regarding their misunderstood "political position" they are my method of choice.
