International swap advice...

So I'm planning to swap an mpc with a guy in the netherlands - his for mine and I'll cover the shipping to make up the defecit. My question is what's the best way to do it so no one gets screwed over? Should I do a private ebay auction? Is there an ebay swap facility? Could escrow help with anything? I've never actually done it so I'm not sure. I have faith, but you gotta be careful still. Any suggestions? Flying there to do it in person is out of the question, so anything else? Muchos gracias y'all!

    Where do you know him from? Can anyone you know/trust vouch for him?

    I would go with your gut. I have traded several records worldwide with folks and usually you can get a good reading on someone by emails sent, who contacted who, etc. If anything seems dodgy, , unless you're ready to eat the loss or deal with the hell that can intl insurance can be.

    Give him a call on the phone. You can tell a lot about someone's character from talking for a few minutes on the phone. Also, ask if he has eBay feedback that you can see.
