"I believe that we are all one mistake away from tragedy...and the mistake made may not be ours."
I always bring someone with me whether buying or selling and let someone else know where i am going. Always get proof that they stated they are legal to own and check ID. I specifically ask in emails if they are legal, tell them I will need to see cdl or ccw and save those emails. Close enough to a bill of sale for me.
My rules are simple: Meet in a public place(prefer my place of business). See an ID(or better, a CCW) to verify residency if I don't know the person. Ask "Is there any reason under state or Federal law that you would not be able to purchase this firearm?", again if I don't know them. Gut check: if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. If all of those things pass, then conclude the transaction, shake hands, and carry on.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Personally, and with my recent job, I ask for a signed receipt. I won't argue the legalities and if it does or does not protect you in case of something bad happening, but in my book it never hurts to get a signed receipt from the buyer stating they can legally own a firearm and are taking possession of it from you....
Could you simply ask the buyer to fill out a Form 4473 for you and get a copy of their drivers license? At least you would have their signature and answers to the questions that every other gun dealer needs.
My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

Um.. all you need is the guys name on it, the answered questions stating that it is legal for them to buy the firearm and his signature.. who said anything about credit card numbers and bank accounts? I don't remember ever having to put any of that info on a 4473 anyway.
