Just out of curiosity, how do you guys go about trading cards over long distances with strangers, without any sort of protection or money back guarantee like EBay provides? Do you do it through an administrator on Efour?
You are pretty safe here in this community. Anyone who does any scamming or crooked things will be banned. From what I understand with trading here on efour, is usually the person who is less known in the community sends their cards first. I’ve never traded here myself but I have purchased cards from other efour members and it always goes smooth. Hope this helps.

Use a middleman if there is one bit of doubt in the person you are trading with.
If you are sure they are trusted (great reputation is a major factor; if someone has a great reputation, it is not in their interest at all to scam you as it would destroy their future sales and trust), you can always send first to show your trust.
Some have a rule that whoever offers to trade should send first which makes sense as well.

Also, don’t ever be shy in asking questions, especially with larger trades. A lot of notable cards are traceable, and some people in this forum can smell scammers from miles away so it’s always good to ask.
Some experts here can sniff a bad seller/scammer from the state they reside in alone (coughs), so it’s a safer place to do transactions compared to anywhere else 
I am in the process of grading some shadowless holos, and cannot wait to trade when it is finished. To be honest, I don’t have s**t on a lot of cards, and collections that I see while browsing through Efour, but things are coming along, heh. That was extremely helpful, guys. Thank you.
