Question Payment - WHeels/tires - what method is best?

Accepting payment for rather expensive wheels and tires - what is my best method for payment acceptance to ship wheels and tires acress country?

(Buyer has all pics so he knows exactly what to expect - the risk is with me)

Which payment method combines: easier to do/most secure?

How does one arrange a bank transfer/'wire' across country?

Talk to your bank...I would suggest you open another account...set up just to accept the wire trasnsfer. This way, nobody has access to your regular account.
I did this when I sold my old car...not that I didn't trust Evren. I was nervous that there might be a less than honest bank employee somewhere in Istanbul...

Once the funds are collected, tranfer them to your regular account, then close the other account.

Best thing to do is have him send you a Money Order, cash it, then send wheels.

I use Pay-pal for most of my E-Bay sales. I've never had a problem (except the 3.1% fee)

1. Cash, if the distance is close enough
2. Postal Money Order
3. Money Order(various companies have decent seller protection)

Just about any other form accepted for payment, can possibly be reversed, or put on hold, or even canceled altogether. There are almost no ends, to the ways a crook, can have the plug pulled on payments.
