Hey guys,

I'm looking at purchasing an iPhone privately via Gumtree for $400. What is the best option to pay (don't mind paying extra fee's) the seller? Seller does not have a PayPal account.

Seller has given me his CommonWealth Bank account, Driver's license and mobile number so far and said he will ship it via Express/Registered post.

I am a bit skeptical as I have never purchased anything before this way and wondering what your thoughts are? Package is from Mackay QLD to Brisbane QLD.

Closest thing I've bought this way was a electronic video game console for $180 from a seller in Sydney where I transferred the money to him via my bank account to his bank account.

Thanks!

Update: I am not proceeding with the sale due to the risk. Thanks once again guys. I think I'll hold out and try and find one which I can pickup locally on Gumtree. Cheers!
