Never buy anything in rush. If you feel something is fishy about the buyer or the products he is offering, stop there. Ask as many questions as you want until you are completely satisfied with the product before you decide to buy it.

Always use the trusted payment methods such as Stripe or Paypal. This will ensure that payment is successfully credited.

Tracked postage is best option to make sure that the order has been delivered to the customer. It will also help your customers in knowing about the delivery time of their product.
