Safest way is to open up a second bank account (same card etc just a different holding account). Get the money paid into there, then withdraw it in cash, then post the bike. Cheques, paypal, bank transferes can all be revsersed/bounced. If you have it in your pocket in cash it cant get taken back.

see thats all a bit too much hassle with the amount of people watching the bike, paypal isnt 100% safe these days is it? even if i hold the bike until the money is cleared into my bank account?

nice one, its the fact that if it stays in the uk at least its within driving distance to turn up at their door. bit further to go abroad.

cheers for the info
