Is it safe to send someone a check for items listed in the Marketplace section? Is there a way to check to see if the person is a member?

buying through marketplace

Personally I would use PayPal.
The online "how-to" on this page says:
The Marketplace is for the use of BMW MOA members. A valid MOA username and password is required to list items, however guests can browse categories and view complete listings. Contacting a seller or "buying" an item requires a login.
So the answer to your question about checking for membership is...folks who list items have to be MOA members. If you list items, prospective buyers who contact you through the Marketplace must also be MOA members.

I have sold items on the marketplace and bought a few also
I do not do PayPal and have accepted personnel checks on the items I've sold
When buying items I also use a check and ask seller to send item when check clears or if they request it use a USPS money order
So far no one has stiffed me, all have been members of MOA

YES!!!, for sure to the above, and based upon the first few comments it is working just fine. Knowing our BUNCH, there would be 5 times as many more negative as there are if it wasn't going well.............For once, in a seemingly long drought of business decisions, back to the membership instead of the corporation, does work........God bless.....Dennis

Now if we can just do something about that logo, I can get rid of the Moa in my Avatar...

A few years ago, I purchased a top case through the Marketplace. Paid by check. It arrived in excellent condition. It didn't fit correctly on my bike. I contacted the seller and asked if he would take it back. Not only did he agree, he sent me a check that included my shipping cost back to him 
I sent him a check for the shipping +
