    Curious how others are conducting transactions and if I'm in the minority. For mods from "known" sellers I don't have a problem using Paypal and sending as "gift". For sellers new to modding, I prefer using paypal "goods" so I'm protected in case there is a chance of scam.

    Machines, I have sold I always only accepted cash or once bank wire transfer. Paypal "goods" a seller can really get screwed as I learned on a non-pinball related sale on eBay - Paypal sides with buyer immediately and money can get held up for awhile.

    I've had a few locals want to pay via paypal for pinball games I sold in past and rejected - cash only. I'm wondering if I should have accepted as "gift" as Paypal really doesn't freeze accounts if someone complains long after the sale in the "gift" mode. I think.

    What are others thoughts? I was selling a few higher priced items on Craigslist and someone is pushing to use paypal to pay and I'm standing my ground - cash only. Am I a dinosaur?

    Ok so I'm not a dinosaur in my thinking and not the only one who sees it that way. Learned a lot on this thread especially that arbitration clause.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    Maybe just bring that Wooly.

    I may just decide one day.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    "I've been running this same stop sign every morning for the past 20 years. I've never had an accident or even a ticket. You never have to worry about stop signs." she said.

    Damn Vid - another great example. I should have reached out on this CA trip just to buy you a beer and meet you in person. Freakin yoda man.
