- Be very careful of accepting any form of payment, that exceeds the total sum payable. A lot of scams exist, where scammers send a cheque exceeding the payment and ask for the difference to be wired back - usually via Moneygram or Western Union. As soon as the difference is sent back, the cheque, money order or payment will be reversed and you as a seller will be left out of pocket.

- Obtain proof of posting, as a absolute minimum level of protection. This can normally be obtained free from UK post offices.
- When accepting Paypal as a payment, always specify that you will only ship to confirmed addresses. This ensures sellers that are fully protected under the Paypal Seller Protection. In the event you ship to an unconfirmed address, you will not qualify for any protection should the worst happen.
- As well as shipping only to confirmed addresses when using paypal, it's more or less essential to get a tracking number with a major courier that is trackable online. This will also give the buyer more confidence when dealing with you - and less reason to contact you about the expected time of delivery.

- Obviously, it should go without saying pack items carefully. A full range of packaging materials such as bubble wrap, paper and protecting packaging are available. Also make sure the item is sent in the correct form of box or envelope.
