    You may use an escrow service, for your safety. Sites like afternic will charge around 3% for the service.

    Once escrow is made, you can give the buyer access to your hosting or send him the mysql dump+files with installation instructions. Also you can transfer the domain name to his name.

    After everything completed, you can ask for the escrow release.

    [1] Backup your Wordpress database
    [2] Backup your Wordpress folder

    Send [1] and [2] to the buyer....

    <edit>
    Don't forget to transfer the domain (if you selling that as well) to the buyer.
    </edit>

    Thanks guys, I know this is a simple question but I have never done it; How do you transfer a domain? I'm using 1and1. I know SOMEONE has to change their nameservers, but who? Can you walk me through the steps of that.


    Thank you so much

    I'm not sure about 1and1 domain transfer.
    You could probably check with 1and1 support.
