Question about buying parts on the net

ok someone from another site has some koni struts i want…
now i like them, want them, and need them cuz my struts are bad…
but he said he wants a money order…

now im afraid of getting robbed… cuz its $500, is there any way to send a money order and if i dont get my sell to get my money back or anything??

i told him to use paypal but im not sure if he’ll do it.
so what to do? just like i said im afraid of getting robbed and dont know how to prove that i sent him money and didnt get my struts if something like that would happen…

cashiers check is more professional

whats the difference?

and i just want something where i can get my money back if i dont get the parts

would he do cash on delivery? that way the deiivery guy will bring the parts then you can check over them real fast and make sure they are what you paid for, then you give the delivery person the money and he sends it to the person you bought the parts off of…if there not what you bought simply refuse delivery

hmmm

I’ve gotten scammed with a money order so be careful.

thats what i dont want to happen…
is there anyway to make sure he ships me the parts? and if he doesnt i can get my money back?

I would call a post office, i belive can get you the money back if you use their money orders and get scammed. He would then have to prove that the item was sent to your address (ex. reciept for him shipping the item)

either do paypal or C.O.D
