How can you sell/buy/trade without giving away address?

I had to close a thread where i was trading because my dad was worried i would get involved with a predator... anyone know a safer way of buying and selling and trading stuff?

thanks i'll look into them Smile
Unfortunately that is not possible, the person you are buying from must know your address to ship it to you. If you are worried, try buying from advanced members of the wbo?

Edit: Ra beat me to it.
oh and khel and momo.... wat medz said
thanks guys, but it turns out it doesnt matter. my dad doesn't want me doing all this stuff on here. sigh.

dimsum2u's ebay shop

And he also has 6000+ positive feedback. That means over 6000 people took the time to write about how good the service was.

You can't go wrong

medz = troll lol yeah you can also fully trust <3
Blaze Wheeler, Driger GT,wwqqyang, also great sellers.
Like everyone else said, it's impossible without meeting face to face (which id assume is even scarier for you)
Don't worry, no one cares enough about you to do anything bad to you, and what can they do with your name and address?
all people would be interested in doing is sending the stuff to you. and if anyone does do anything report them and it will be dealt with VERY SERIOUSLY
How about just asking the seller to send it to the post office so you can just pick it up without them knowing your address.
Oh get a PO box

Hahahh thats kinda mean XD but in a way he is right, if u think about how would they do anything if they across state, country or conteinent? if they are local u can meet up. Across State dont worry thats WAY to for for anyone to go so really there is nothing to worry about

yeah, i know, but dads all like, "What if they travel alot?" Ugh.
Can you not buy a slot in a local post office and give the address of the slot to the seller/buyer whatever?
That involves no personal address of yours.
I suggested a P.O box bEfore u.....

But this threadshould Now be closed
On ebay get your dad to check their feedback, and check what people have said on their profiles. PayPal is very secure and most Ebay sellers request it.
