Face to Face. That is the best way...

^ I was literally typing "doing it in person" when this appeared, so er. Yeah, that way is the best way.

If a meet isn't feasible, then the person with the lowest feedback/rep is usually expected to send their item first.

While this is usually acceptable, as an example, I have no feedback here (being new to the forum), but have high perfect feedback on a number of other forums, if I entered in to a swap agreement on here with someone with low feedback (but more than me), I'd be unlikely to agree to send my kit first.

its a bit of a minefield ;)

An intermediate could also work, a non affiliated promised person (this has been a shop in some cases I've read about) receives both items, checks them and then forwards on to their respective owners. This had only happened with people I know and who are also friendly with shop owners etc.
