Welcome to TRF!

If the seller is a TRF trusted seller you're fine - wire the money and save the fees.

Read the Who's Who section.

Maybe i should mention who the buyer is and some fellow member who have had dealings with him can put my mind at ease.

Do what you feel most comfortable with. Makes for a great experience on both sides of the transaction.

Good luck!!

Welcome, post a message on the relevant board and ask for feedback / references on the Seller. If they are a trusted seller here on TRF, they would welcome it.
