How to buy from Audiogon?


Hi, I am going to make a first purchase of a speaker from a seller in audiogon. Is this base completely on trust that the seller will ship the speaker once he receives the money (money order)? Does any one has any problems with the purchse on the net? Thanks.

Tom- iescrow is fast and easy as described above. If seller has limited feedback and/or if $ is high, that's probably the best way to go, COD is next. However, I have done about 15 transactions here in the last year (2 @ 900, rest less) and all have worked well. Also, seller should be willing to talk to you on phone, esp. if big $.
Words of wisdom Lakefront. Didn't know that paypal had a limit on fraud protection. That's scary. Would point out to all that buyer is making a hugh leap of faith, so seller should be willing to put up with reasonable requests for authentication. If not, beware. Iescrow protects both, so any seller should have no problem. cost can be split, so neither party takes a beating.
