I am currently in the processes of making a trade. My 20" iMac for a blackbook with 4GB ram. Anyone have any advice for me. I am a little worried about how to carry out shipping. Flin1 has come to me with that offer and I took it+100$. How do I know Im getting a Black Macbook and not just a empty box. I have an ebay account with a 25 feedback of 100%. I asked her to ship first. Should I hang onto my iMac before untill I get the macbook or what?
ALL ADVICE IS NEEDED.
Thanks!

The easy way to do this, is ask her to get the recorded weight and size of her package to you sent to you officially by the post office after it's loged. Then you'll know if it's the size and weight you are expecting.

And maybe you should offer the same to the other person. Just so there's piece of mind on both sides. And get the post office to hold your imac till you get the confirmation from them. Then give the ok for them to sent it.
