One way to do a trade is to have both sides paypal each other the same amount that is roughly equal to the worth of the bag. This way, if you don't get your item then you've paid some amount and can file a claim, get your money back, etc. This isn't ideal, because you incur some fees, but at least you're protected against getting totally ripped off.

This sounds like the best option unless you are trading with someone you "know" and trust.One way to do a trade is to have both sides paypal each other the same amount that is roughly equal to the worth of the bag.

would tread very carefully pursuing this way of trading..
there was a post awhile back about someone who also
pursued this way of trading and had a major problem
that eventually did get resolved...why just not list the
item to be sold....
hotshot, do you remember when or who posted it? i'd want to read it, this sounds interesting.
Here it is, I was able to find it:

thank you so much!!!!
i remember the thread now that you found it)))) i read it already and i don't remember all the details but i don't think they did a paypal payment to each other. they just both shipped to each other on the same day and the other person shipped an empty envelope just so there's tracking.
it seems like doing it with paypal though is not much protection either: you pay let's say $1,500 and get $1,500 right back. so then what's stopping the other person from not sending the bag after you send yours or sending some bs in a box?
am i missing something?
If one of the buyers doesn't get something (or the right thing) for her $1500, she has the ability to file either INR (if she doesn't get anything) or SNAD (if she gets an empty box).it seems like doing it with paypal though is not much protection either: you pay let's say $1,500 and get $1,500 right back. so then what's stopping the other person from not sending the bag after you send yours or sending some bs in a box?
