What's the basic procedure for buying things on the B&S section?

send the member a PM telling them what item you want ...then arrange payment

usually done through paypal or google checkout

First, avoid member avalemik or anything similar or not so similar.

reviewing the recommended seller thread is always a good idea though I've had nothing but good experiences buying from people here. edit: heres the link http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=96864

Ask for refs if you have any concerns at all...

I don't want to send money through paypal without knowing for sure that the item will be shipped? How do you guys avoid people scamming you? What prevents sellers from just taking your money through paypal and not sending you the item?

The good thing about this forum is that it is populated (for the most part) with honorable and honest men. I have had no issue receiving any items I have purchased. I have conducted 30+ transactions, too. I do understand why you would be nervous as I was this way when I first started buying items here. Start small, and buy from reputable posters.
