Question Out of Province Private Party Transactions...

I'm looking to purchase a P car privately from out of Province and the seller wants a deposit as a sign of good faith. How can one protect their deposit should one choose to do this....Any input would be appreciated

TIA

Perhaps a wire order with a faxed contract so you could go after them, have explicit terms in the deal sheet..how much is deposit?

Cheers

Paypal is setup exactly for the reasons you describe. Also, try an E-mail money transfer. It leaves a healthy electroonic history of the transfer and the reciept. It has been used in legal battles before.

Read about it at http://www.certapay.com

I used to work there...
