I was just chatting about potentially shipping a game to someone here on Pinside and they offered to send the money Paypal. For reasons mentioned above I wrote back and said I would be ok if it was Friends and Family or a different payment method. I dont want a dispute opened up because of the shipper... etc not worth it to me.
The immediate response back from the potential buyer was that they pass due to my response. They didnt even offer up an alternative method or respond saying no deal unless you accept paypal.
I have never shipped a game and have always dealt in cash. How are people handling these types of deals where shipping is involved and money needs to be transferred?
