Would you sell to someone with no feedback?

Are multiple offers flowing in ? I assume not . How long have you had the item for sale ? Along time , Then i might be more apt to selling to someone with no feedback. If a basic ad you have no way of speaking with them on the phone . I would try and get some dialogue going via messaging . If they are replying with short answers you might get a vibe. Thats how i would go about it .

" What precautions should I take before accepting the offer and posting the item???"

Don't take Paypal and don't ship outside the 48 states. Other than that, make sure you get paid first before shipping the item.

You can often find out a lot about people via the web, that may provide insight into their honesty or lack thereof. I would Google the person’s screen-name, real name, and email address. I would also see if the person has a page at Facebook, Linkedin, etc. Also, a search of the person’s name (and location, if it is a common name) at Intelius.com may disclose useful information.

Good luck. Regards,

When there's a dispute, Paypal seems to favors buyers, so I'd be very reluctant to sell anything of high value to someone with no feedback.

Just to add to my last post, I see most people are recommending Paypal. Paypal's great until you have a problem. The people that work there are worse than ex-con, used car salespeople, that are now politicians because that's the only work they can get. I know I joke a lot, but not this time. I'm being 100% serious. 

A Paypal issue is really 2 problems. The first problem is the primary issue. The issue between the buyer and seller. The second problem is Paypal themselves. They will always work against you regardless of the circumstances. Now, some of you will reply and state that you've been using them for years and never had a problem. I know. Me too.
