What is the best paying way for a used oud within Europe?
i would say a bank transfer, there will be no charge from your bank

If the transfer is in the EU, the fees shouldn't be higher than the fees you have inland. A standard SEPA transfer shouldn't cost you much.
But if the receiver doesn't have EURO as currency, then you must also pay exchange fees.
Does the bank transfer offer protection?
No, as it has nothing to do with the trade itself. If you do a face-to-face trade or via bank, it doesn't matter.
What gives you protection is the receipt you would get from the shop/luthier. Like a receipt you get from Amazon or any other local shops.
If it is a private sale, well the best thing you can do is to buy it face-to-face. Then you have the best protection as you can see the instrument.
But in any case, commercial or private sale, the seller must provide the item as he described/listed/showed. So when you get oranges instead of
apples, then of course the law is on your side.
Just, you are still screwed... As the costs of an international case would be much much higher then the price you would pay for the instrument. And
the 2nd problem is how you will prove that you are right. It is really difficult to prove such things.
So, either you must trust the seller or do it face-to-face.
