Selling an item via GumTree and the buyer has suggested using UPS COD service. Is it safe or am I walking right into a scam?
 
Richand, that's whats' ringing alarm bells. If the buyer gives a personal cheque its no different to sending it through the post. I won't know I've been scammed until a period of time after I cash the cheque.

Anyone suggest an alternative? Seems he's unwilling to meet somewhere halfway (I'm Hull, he's Nottingham).
 
Cheers, you've confirmed my suspicions. Just told him I'm willing to meet in Sheffield and cover the cost of his train ticket, or the deal is off. (Would rather take a £20 hit and know I'm not being scammed).
