I am interested in buying a machine that I saw in the Marketplace that another pinsider is selling. The machine is on the west coast and I am on the east. What would be the best and safest way to pay for the machine?

What about a postal money order? That should be easy enough for a seller to cash.
Quoted from thedarkknight77:I use paypal and "gift" the money to them. If you gift, you pay no fees. The only issue is you are essentially sending an electronic check which takes a few days to clear.
If I gift the payment, would I still be covered under paypal's buyer protection? What if the seller does not ship the machine? I have never bought before on this forum so I am just trying to make sure that I don't get shafted. Not that I suspect that the seller would do that, but almost 2k is a lot of money to lose.
Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:Well I can vouch for you Roland. He bought my JD and is a vey honest buyer. We worked out a good deal arranging payment/delivery. Whoever is selling you a game should do so with no worries.

Thanks, I appreciate that. : )
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:With all due respect, why not ask the seller how they would like to be paid?

I have to say that is a great idea.
Quoted from gweempose:Does anyone know what the maximum amount you can "gift" someone is?
I have no idea. I guess as much as your paypal limit is.
