How to protect buyer and seller

I have been looking for a wad gun for a while now, and several folks on this forum have contacted me with pistols they have for sale. By the way, thanks to all who sent me suggestions and opportunities. Once I actually pick one, what is the best way to ensure a smooth transaction? I have always bought in person before, but this is not likely going to be possible this time. Do you send a check and hope to get what was advertised? Do most use a trusted service that will hold the funds till both sides are satisfied? Just curious about how this works.
Thanks all.
