First, please move this if it's not in the right forum.

I am in a tight spot as far as a trade goes here. I have sold lots of stuff and bought lots of stuff online. Buyer sends USPS MO... seller sends item and vise versa. Both parties are protected.

When trading one thing for another and not local.... How do you know that the other person will send the item if you send yours to them? You can't can you? I don't want to get ripped off again and I know they don't either. What do you guys do in a situation like this? Thanks ahead of time for your help.
