I only use cash with Craigslist - it is a local classified service - and the best way to not get scammed is to do face-to-face transactions. Scammers will insist on shipping somewhere else, and then claiming the goods were not received, etc etc etc. If the guy needs it shipped to somewhere else, make the transaction local and cash, and let them ship it.
Absolutely. Craigslist purchases and sales should always be cash, face-to-face, in a safe, public place (never at your home). Here in Raleigh, there is a “safe place” for transactions at the police station. Simple.
