I have taken three bad checks over the years, a couple of small ones and one for near $300, in each case they were from long time posters on the site. Since then I have only taken PayPal or Postal MO, the problem with some of the other forms of payment (cashiers checks, etc) is that they can be easily faked.

I agree with this, a postal money order is safe, costs very little in fees for the buyer. Paypal is good, but the fees really add up, 3% is not chump change,
and someone is going to have to pay them.
I remember some years back I purchased a scope from a guy in Alaska, he sent it to me right away, before I even sent the money order.
