Planning to trade Body kits. Any way to insure safety for both party?

Hi, don't know if this is the right place to post this. But I am planning to trade body kit with someone in California. He is from Socal and I am from Norcal. The deal is my body kit for his body kit + cash. Is there any safe way into doing this for both party through shipping? I was planning to pay him half through paypal first and when I receive it, I will pay him the rest.

Does anyone have any methods they used when they trade?

Thanks.

IDK, but it may be a way to use an on-line escrow account. I remember there was something like that at eBay.

perfect. then some members can help you do the swap if you're unsure how to do it. this way no one gets cheated and you're guaranteed you get what you pay for.
