so this should actually be called "selling to a n00b?"
if that's the case you shouldn't have anything to worry about...just make sure you get your money (via paypal, check, cash, ect.) before you ship the jacket out.

This. The way it's always done. Selling is a whole lot less dangerous. Money can be easily retrieved via PayPal claims, etc. An actual item that may have already been flipped is a lot harder. Be smart and you won't get burned.

i just sold a hoodie to a guy with two posts. lol. if the money is in your paypal, then there's no reason to be worried - he's already done his part of the transaction and since you've already got the money he can no longer scam you. just don't ship anything out before you get any money.

I wish we had a secure network to sell through like ebay or a store styled lay out.  would be cool.  but ya becareful selling to the new guys.  i think you should be fine if you do it through paypal.
