offer him a check and send it by recoded delivery that way u know if he got the money and u can Always cancel or u can just pay through pay-pal at least there insured

I wouldn't buy the tickets from him.

He may well not trust you either, and want your money (cleared) first before sending the tickets. One of you has to trust the other or you won't get the tickets.

Through Paypal with a credit card

if you bought them off ebay, then you are covored by Paypal and ebay for anyone who doesnt send you your items... If you are with ebay but don;'t have a Paypal account, I suggest opening one. If you didn't buy them from ebay, then youre just going to have to send the money and hope that he doesnt f**k you over.

simple since he said he have spare and then mean he is going to see the football too tell him you will meet him there and pay him cash that way you only waste the journey fare if not you can see the football one stone kill two bird.

Get him to list them on www.ebay.co.uk for a buy it now price. Make sure you "buy them" straight away.

Pay through www.paypal.co.uk

OR

As others have said, buy from someone else.

It might be worth looking on ebay or ebid any way to see if you can get them cheaper.

How much are you paying and what match is it for?

if he is so far away why does he have 2 extra? This alone should raise some suspicions. Try contacting him via cell phone as he may just live around he corner.

Don't do it because by time he get the check and you put a stop on it, that thing would have already been cashed just is not worth the risk

send by Paypal it secured and u can get the money back. go to www.paypal.com to find out.

in Australia you can go to the post office ans do C.O.D

so he sends the item to the post office and you pay at the post office once it gets there. ;-)
