Hello!

I have bought and sold a lot of watches from other forums such as reddit. I always use PayPal “Goods & Services” which is pretty much what you described. I believe the seller pays a 3% premium on the sales price. The purchaser in return gets buyer protection from PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-safety-and-security

However I believe people do offer wire transfers to sellers who have a strong transaction history and good references within the community.

Hope this helps!

Best,
