ORIGINAL: doublekk2 hi guys i want to know the best way to send someone money 4 example buying a guitar from another guy from another country without any risk ,i mean is there anything i can do to make my money in the safe side ,example i transfer the money and it will be there in an account until i receive the instrument so i can confirm to give him the money. In that case the luthier would be taking a huge risk - what if you the customer did not pay up for some reason? When you buy anything from another country it is quite normal to pay first, then you get your goods. Also, luthiers stand or fall by their reputation - if they didn't honour a deal, news would get out FAST. Or are you talking about buying privately? If that's the case, look into escrow where the money is held in trust by a third party. You can do this on ebay and I think you can do it via Paypal. Or find someone in that country to buy the guitar on your behalf (paying their expenses of course). The Internet is very useful for this.
