Purchasing new rims

[hai]

Hey guys so my friend is purchasing new rims for 1.8k off someone in melb through a forum. He wanted to pay him half the amount to ship it to Sydney and then the remaining half when he receives the rims.
But the seller wants the full amount before he sends anything.

What should my friend do so that to ensure that it is a legitimate transaction and he doesn't get screwed over by the seller.

check the sellers trader rating firstly.

If he wants to be really safe.....Go for a weekend drive to Melbourne

Its not on ozhonda forum so there is no trade rating.

get some of your mates from melb to check it out and pay the guy in person .. then get your mates to ship it over here :thumbsup:

ask if he takes paypal. They have some type of system to get the money back in case of issues

get a courier service that offers cash on delivery
