Payment Methods: Safe Options for Private Deals

Agree payment and handover terms, verify the recipient and confirm your bank’s process.

Published by Buying BuddyHow we use sources

No payment method makes an unverified sale safe. Inspect and check seller authority before sending funds, verify the recipient and agree payment and handover in writing. Ask your bank how to confirm the chosen payment and what cheque or recovery risks apply. A screenshot or bank cheque is not an unconditional guarantee of cleared funds. Clarify unexplained account-name differences and further payment demands.

Use the draft paperwork to record the terms you agree.
