Eric made a great post, people need to understand that you need to protect yourselves when dealing with someone you do not know. It is considered obligatory for new people to send their end first to people who are well known here. Always ship with some kind of confirmation, if you do not you are opening up yourselves to issues. Use paypal when dealing with new people, if using a personal check, make sure you let it clear before you send your end.
There are people on the web who look for opportunities to rob you, it is the nature of the beast, just use the Kyle Black incident as proof.
