Recieving payment for sales

I was thinking about posting a camera for sale w/ 2 lens and just wandering what would be the best way to get the payment from someone that wants to buy if I sold it.

Paypal would be my guess .. unless they are local then cash always works best. Just meet in a public place for the transaction.

It's one sure way to know you will get paid ... Paypal is good about that.

I have sold a number of items on e-bay where the buyer did not have a paypal account. I told them I would accept a check but would not send the product until their personal check had cleared my bank. I have heard of people having problems with money orders (usualy offshore) where the money order was cashed but later found out to be a fake. The bank came after the person who cashed it. I do not accept money orders, there is no direct account tied to it.

I accept payment through Paypal even if I sell to a local, because you are assured that when you set up a meeting place and time, they will show up if they have already paid..

I only accept checks and I hold all checks until they clear. This includes cashier's checks and money orders. If it is really expensive, I worry.
No PayPal for me, either.

I sold a lens through this forum and the buyer (a very nice lady from Sturgis, by the way) sent a check and when it cleared, I sent the lens. Sold the lens and made a friend in the process, what a deal!
