Depends who you're dealing with, I suppose.
I can imagine buyers saying cash on delivery is the best way to purchase, but what about sellers?
I wouldn't and indeed haven't sent off things I sold on eBay without receiving payment. All it would take is the buyer to say 'Not got it mate, not paying' for me to lose my item.
If you're talking about face to face purchases, then you can't go wrong with cash on delivery. For internet purchases, I would pretty much always expect to send cash first.
The only thing you can do really is make sure you're buying from someone reputable - check feedback etc.

I've bought only from Ebay-stores when buying from a far-away seller. (1000+ positive feedback) and only for small amounts (i can afford to miss)
BUT: I have also bought my T300 from a foreign seller (germany) and I have to say: there are good sellers out there too!!!.
A few things that are almost always sure scam signs:
*unsolicited email from ebay seller
*VERY expensive and brand new items from countries such as romania
*stock pictures on auction instead of pics provided by the seller
I have good and bad experiences. Buying thru the internet is ALWAYS a gamble.

COD is good in a way but know that u cant open the package then pay the delivery guy!!! So u may pay, and then when u open the box u will find a big rock or whatever!!!
