insist on payment by
UNITED STATES POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER
when you get the money order take it and the item to ANY united states post office and they will verify it's authenticity AND cash it on the spot, this way you have CASH IN HAND before you ship them anything, no paypal BS
(ok it doesnt work as well for cars, just smaller things)

That is great if you are the SELLER... It sucks if you are the BUYER... The buyer sends a postal money order to the seller, the seller, hopefully is legit and is who he says he is and lives where he says he lives, if not the BUYER is just, sol. I know you can file a claim with the postal service but I hope you are young. With paypal and a credit card your recourse is pretty dam quick and you don't lose you cash. JMHO Once the MO is mailed so is your money.
