How do I pay?

I am in negotiations to purchase a pair of $4000 speakers. The seller wants a cashier check. He has no feedback on Usaudio sales. He does not accept PayPal. How do I pay and protect myself?

If neither of you has any particular reason to trust the other, then the only time you should use a cashier's check is when you would also use cash—in other words for an in-person sale.

Does not mean they're good just that they are licensed. https://dfpi.ca.gov/online-escrow-companies/ I wouldn't do the transaction otherwise.
