(a) demand payment before shipping
(b) pay the extra dollar for delivery confirmation if shipping USPS or ship it UPS or fedex where there is tracking.

Not rocket science. I have been trading for years online and the only times I have been burned are when I neglected these rules.
This is how I have always done it aswell. Still suggest not bothering dealing with anyone. People have to much power, obviously, to just say "I got trolled by so and so" and everyone immediately jump on the bandwagon slamming away. That is BS pH.
First it should go through other channels before it gets publicly dumped on the forum. If the guy is going to claim someone is a troll then they should submit the evidence to the admin or mod or whomever. Then an attempt to contact the other half of the story should be made. If it doesn't get resolved then it should be allowed to go public where other members may have some info that could be useful such as BillA's e-mail and name. Otherwise your just opening up an avenue for anyone disgruntled with someone to say they are a troll and got ripped off even if no such event ever took place.
