I am About to buy a newish board privately off the 'breeze (interstate) and its a significant amount of money to me.

Anyone have tips for a safe way to make payment other than a direct deposit?

As Brian said, i too have bought loads of gear on Seabreeze all by
direct deposit. Never had a problem.

Ditto

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have any problems with buying off anyone on seabreeze, especially if they're a regular, but a lot of people I've known who've bought boats from interstate use a half now, half on arrival arrangement if they're doing direct deposit.

Both parties have to come to that agreement though, there are a lot of "what ifs" to deal with. I'd probably just make the payment straight up....
