Went it comes to the trustworthiness of a seller I approach it in a similar way to EBay - If I am not familiar with someone I check people's history.
If someone has been a member for a good few months and made a few hundred posts then I figure they are going a really long way around if they are looking to scam someone out of £80 say for a pedal.
On music radar most disputes I saw that popped up were to do with the condition of an item -particularly a couple of guitar. Like with any distance selling get as many pictures as you need to be satisfied before purchasing. What someone describes as 'good condition' may not be what you would describe in the same way as we all use and treat equipment differently. The seller is wanting to sell and should expect to put in a bit of work. If they aren't willing to answer ALL questions or provide ALL the photos you request to you satisfaction then I would walk away or else you are 'taking a chance'.
Via the forum I personally would not buy anything from outside the UK as there are so many points it could go wrong and the acceptance of responsibility become grossly complex.
Regardless or whether using PPG, Bank Transfer or other, get the seller to send you their details along with a clear request for the amount you need to pay and what you are paying it for including any faults or damage. That way if feel you have been ripped off you can take if further legally without the need for the 'I said / he said' fallout.
