Keep it simple.

When buying I only use personal check. If it doesn't work for seller I don't care. I don't need it.

When selling no electronic payment.

Keep it simple.

This. These days it doesn't take long.

Also, I've never had a problem with a buyer here, only with the US Post Office.

My wife and I have been selling stuff we have to ship for over 20 years, which is when we started the website for selling the books we write. Have received ONE bad check in all those years, early on for some small amount. The return address was a seminary in the Midwest....

I accept cash, personal checks, and USPS M.O.s. Never had an issue, but do hold checks a bit if they’re from “strangers”. I figger for the amounts I’m dealing in, no one is going to bother faking a M.O. from the P.O., so for a seller, it’s pretty safe.

Don’t sell enough to bother with Pay Pal, and I don’t like them either after seeing how they operated when my wife was selling stuff. Like Fakebook, I suppose regular sellers have to put up with it or one of the other e-money methods to be competitive.

Exactly!!!

A seller should make the payment method as complicated as possible... to ensure the lowest possible price for the eventual buyer who is willing to comply with inane payment requirements.

I take Paypal mainly because the slipjoint guys want the knife fast,I've been dealing with Paypal since 2005 ,no problems . I also take a check or a money order . Never had a problem here & have sold many knives . To ask for a check should be no problem.

I hav sent cash checks money order
Pay pal
What ever seller wants

I have shipped Pryor to payment and have had guys ship to me Pryor to payment
Just look for red flags

Personal checks or postal money orders has always worked for me. I won't do any form of electronic payment. Never had a problem.

Never sold always purchased.Zero issues.

When I sell on the classifieds, I post that I take cash, check, postal money order or PP FF. Never been cheated or had a check bounce. I also usually ship once the buyer has advised me the funds are in the mail.

The way I look at it, if you can trust me enough to send me your money, I can trust you enough to mail the item. If you as the seller really have to make a point of holding an item waiting for the check to clear, so be it, do what makes you feel good.
