With transactions on here and other boards I've always paid first and usually by PayPal - Goods & Services to protect myself and anyone else involved in the transaction.

The 3% really isn't that big of a deal to me on either side of the transaction and is more that reasonable, IMHO, for the assurance that I'm covered in case something happens.

I've also been paid in a large transaction on here via Friend's & Family, but I'm also sure that person checked with Leon about me just like I did about him to make sure I was dealing with a legit/honest person.

It's all about CYA and doing that does sometimes costs a bit more, but that's just part of doing business.
