    Trading what?

    If you were to trade sex for photos it would be hard not to get screwed

    Trades are really no different than buying/selling using money.

    Well, money is just numbers these days... So if you send it the right way, there are ways to get it back if you get screwed. Getting a lens back is a different story....

    There may be legal ways to get your dues in case of a screw up but it will be a big hassle. Or expensive. Not worth it in my book.

    Yeah, what 480 said. Try to find someone who you both will ship to and when both arrive, they will ship the items to the designated person.

    That creates the expense of shipping four times..... it can be done with three.
