PayPal

[Jeff H]

Allen, the 3% Paypal fee is for credit card payment. You can tell the buyer that you accept Paypal but not from a credit card. That way they need to hook their Paypal into a bank account to fund the payment and you don't get nailed for the 3% fee. If the item is expensive enough and the buyer wants to use the credit card for Paypal I will tell them to add the 3% to cover it. As for the Postal money orders, I could send you a money order and cancel it right away to get my money back and you wouldn't know it was no good until you went to cash it. There really is no truly safe way to pay for stuff. You need to be comfortable with the person you're dealing with.
