I have been wondering about this for a while, so I figured I would toss it out there and get some opinions. If you want to trade frogs (and it would require you both shipping them) with someone that you don't know in person are there any particular ways to protect yourself and insure that they actually send what they promised?
Perhaps I should illustrate with a hypothetical situation: You come in contact with an individual who wants something that you have, and you want something they have. You haven't met them in person, maybe just seen them posting here and there on DB, but they aren't necessarily one of the big posters. They may even have a post or two of positive reputation. The biggest issue is that you don't necessarily know them, and would have little recourse if things went south.
I guess what I am asking is, like paying for something with Paypal affords you some protection, is there anything equivalent to that you can organize with a trade? I hope I have articulated my question in a somewhat coherent manner....
