**How To Safely Trade/Sell** For buying of goods always use PayPal goods and services using our invoice template [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SNEy98WokTQ-ZQqmNaHxMaoI17lNTbY7Jzq04g3EysE/edit?usp=sharing) always pay via Paypal invoice or and sell via Paypal goods and services bank transfer or Revolut.

Always check a buyers profile was not recently made and that their information matches up and ask if they have references from previous purchases and sales.

If you are doing local meets it is recommended to do in a bank and have the buyer pay the cash into your account. This eliminates the possibility of fake notes and reduces other risks.
