I cannot say this is safe or not. The question is how much you trust your buyer. As for my company, we never accept 100% TT payment against document. We will ask for 40% TT advance payment. Balance 60% is against fax copy ofnon-negotiabledocument. If no payment is received, original documents will not be sent. But again, this might not be a healthy practice because they may also reject our goods because we are being fussy with payment. The worst case, it is the seller who lost. There is one other method of payment that you can try. It is by At Sight Irrevocable Letter of Credit. However, it also needs some agreed term and condition. Therefore, how much you trust your buyer. This is really a dilemma for seller. Maybe someone with more experience can share us some thoughts. I am also new in business through the internet.

I would say that it is a quite safe procedure since the photocopies do not represent the goods, only the original ones. Hence the buyer is requiring the photocopies as a proof of the contract.

T/T mean telegraphic transfer

However, I think buyer will have problem to trust seller by using T/T. The best procedure is using either L/C or escrow.

L/C = Letter of Credit. Work same as escrow, but may be more secure. Ask your local bank, they will provide the service. =)
