id suggest grabbing a trusted escrow for anything you do for bitcoin.

Its not just trade but overall buying something.. about a good percent of deals go bad if no escrow is used.. and waiting for a scam.

You might want to use escrow even dealing through WU because its also a reversible transaction according to theymos.

Western Union (they reportedly will sue the recipient to recover money in some cases)

Although I know little about escrow, but it is obvious that Western Union is not friendly with bitcoin. why do you choose WU?

WU will never return your money, so NO NO NO.
Only if you know the person real good and trust them then WU is OK.

I got ripped off more than once but less than 3. I phone them and they basically "Too bad for you, Good bye"
