I required buyers to send only US postal money orders. They are cashed at the post office and cash is king. This method allows me to tell buyers that I will send the same day I receive there money order, if it is on any day but sunday.
They cost $1.03 for orders up to $1000. and a little more for larger ones here in michigan. Guys in canada can use there postal money orders purchased in canada and they are cashed at our US post offices the same. Any buyer that complaines about this method is not my buyer, Honor is Honor both ways as far as I am concerned.
Pay pal cost a percent or the sale and is much more expensive to the seller always than the one Buck that the post office charges for there money orders.
Good luck selling

I prefer Paypal or Postal Money Orders. Postal money orders are probably the safest money orders because forging a postal money order would be a federal crime. Cashiers checks are too chancey, easily forged and cashed before it's realized they are a forgery. After it's found out that it is a forgery, you are stuck paying back the funds.

A little story about Paypal I have posted a long time ago..
A friend sold a guitar on Ebay for $1300 and was paid thru his Paypal account and guitar was shipped to California from NY...The buyer then lodged a complaint thru his credit card company and denied the payment but the guitar stayed in his possession in Ca...after about 3 months for some reason the buyer decided to return the guitar undamaged..The friend closed the Paypal account....

I guess just pay cash, "If you can't touch it don't buy it". I guess there is a way to screw anyone these days.

I HAD A CONTERFIET MONEY ORDER A GUY SENT ME FOR A 396.. IT WAS FOR 800.00 AND IT WAS A REAL POSTAL MONEY ORDER, BUT THE AMOUNT FILLED OUT WRONG.. MY BANK DIDNT EVEN CATCH IT FOR 2 WEEKS.. LUCKILY I DIDNT HAVE TIME TO SHIP THE BLOCK.. PAYPAL HAS A DISPUTE BOARD INCASE THE SELLER NEVER SENDS THE PRODUCT, YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY BACK.. I HAVE HAD VERY GOOD LUCK WITH PAYPAL, HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY.. WATCH OUT FOR SCAMMERS, THEY WILL WANT TO SEND EXTRA MONEY AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SEND THE REMAINDER TO THERE SHIPPER OR BACK TO THEM...
