First of all, to make it clear, there's very few ways that you can sell that are basically recall-safe.
I'll highlight these keys during my short guide.

To make it easy, I will assume the buyer is a male.

<span style="font-weight: bold">When dealing with a buyer:</span>
Make sure he posts in your thread before any serious discussions are made.
Check his rep, do a quick search of his AIM on Markee, and Google.
If he has no rep, you have two options of selling available:
- Bank Transfer (if he's in your country)
- Western Union (fees, but safe).
- Paypal (not reccommended).
Ok, we'll assume you're both keen to go, get his details, his full address and a landline number (cell phones are a no-go, if he has rep and is willing to use Bank Transfer or WU then a cellphone will be OK)

Check if it all adds up:

Ok, if it all adds up, you're clear to go, give him your bank details / WU needed details.
Once you have the money (bank transfer usually take one business day to process) you're good to give him the info.
Only give him the info if you have the money.

For paypal, it's a different matter, and I suggest you read this post: http://www.markeedragon.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/2394798#Post2394798

Short, sweet and to the point.
Summary:
Unless the buyer has crazy rep, use WU/Bank transfer.
This is the way I conduct all my sales.
