I sold a boat on Ebay. It was a flawless transaction. The guy was from Missouri. I met him at Ky lake with the boat. We took the boat out for a spin, he paid me in cash and took it home with him. I got the price I wanted, and he was happy with the boat.

I did require a $200 non refundable deposit for the winner.

The best thing is make sure they have a good contact information. Ask for a phone number. Plus check their feedback.

It's like any other thing, there's mostly good, but a few bad people out there.
