Help me out,, Large $$$$ ebay purchase

[cj-S4]

What do you guys do for a large purchase off ebay. Say 2 grand. Is there a way I can send the seller a cashiers check with the stipulation that it can't be cashed untill goods are recieved? Basicly I just want to make sure I don't get screwed, how would you go about it? Thanks

if, and when i make large purchases on ebay, i make sure they take cc for payment. that is really the only protection...........that or use an escrow company and pay a fee.

yea, escrow gets my vote to be safe...thats too much money to get jacked on.

Will my bank do the escrow deal,, or do you guys have any companys you have used?

i'm actually not sure.. ive never done a C.O.D, but i also havent made any large purchases online like this.. its worth looking into though. Whatever the safest option is would be my choice.

I think the Escrow is probably the best way. Since what I am buying will be taken apart for shipping. With the escrow you can set a number of inspection days after delivery,, then you call them and tell them it is ok within those days. COD could get me screwed since I will need at least a day to put it back together and make sure all the parts are there.
