What is the safest way to complete a transaction?

[Brigit]

I was just wondering what the best way to complete a transaction for something for sale. I'm looking at buying something worth a few hundred dollars and I just want to know what the best way to go about it is? IE how do I ensure that I get the item and the seller gets my payment?

PayPal is probably the safest. I believe they offer some kind of fraud protection.
