I've found some wheels that may be in good shape and that I may like to buy but I spoke to the guy on the phone and he sounds like a young kid (teenager). I normally would pay using PayPal but since I have a Canadian PayPal account I don't get any buyer protection services from PayPal. How could I buy these wheels without getting ripped-off? I got ripped-off on ebay a month ago and these wheels are much more expensive than the ebay item.
Thanks, Alfred |

Send the money by mail, use a postal order. That way if the deal goes sour, it's a federal fraud case. If the FBI dosen't get him the postal police will.
