I've had 14 sales on here and all I use are United States Postal money orders with no problems.
Same when I buy.

Its all about common sense like Bjuice says. If the deal seems to good to be true, it probably is :!:
Here is some info right of the RJ faq pages.
Scamming
What can RacingJunk.com do if I got scammed?
A: We can supply you with any ad and account info if you are taking legal action against this person. If you can fax over documentation that proves you are taking legal action against this person, i.e. court papers or a letter from an attorney we can disable the account, and provide a legal entity with member/ad/message information that will help you with your pursuit of this person.
What can I do to prevent getting scammed
A: It is very important that our members notify us of any potential scams or scamers right away. In addition to informing us of potential scams, we strongly encourage our members to use an ESCROW account to complete any transactions that you are not making in person. We encourage members to use an escrow service to make sure that your transaction is safely done. An escrow service protects both parties involved in the transaction. Buyers receive and inspect the merchandise before the Seller is paid. Sellers receive their money if the Buyer accepts the merchandise. For more information go to www.escrow.com.
I hear a lot of complaining about Ebay on here but I have had my account for over 10 years and have never been scammed on a buy or a sale with over 500 feedbacks. I have bought a few things on RJ but mostly from business's and a few people I have met on the forum. It still all boils down to using common sense.
