Buying from unknown sellers

I actually think the link or the amount of money you are talking about is completely relevant. Everyone starts with zero feedback. They arent all crooks. If its a small item (a couple hundred dollars or less), send the money with a signature required (to prove receipt). If its an expensive item, you need to be more cautious. I recently sent a $300 MO (wouldnt take anything else) to a relatively low feedback seller who had an ungraded pc 796 plank (and didnt deal a lot in bb cards). Next thing I know, Im told he hasnt rec'd the money. I sent it regular mail and thought I was going to be out the money. Three weeks after I sent the MO, it shows up. Got the card, it graded nicely, and all is well.
