If you do that, make sure you read very carefully about Proof Of Delivery and Not As Described provisions of buyer protection. I don't think there is even an option for a trucking company that meets their proof of delivery requirements.

Best of luck dude.

Tell you what centerflank why don't you just have him send the money to me and I'll confirm receipt then you ship pin out. After I am satisfied that both parties have followed through I will then send you 2/3rds of the received money via certified bank check. Sounds reasonable to me man. PS if I could of made the 2/3rds part in very small print I would of done that but I see mentioning it now totally draws your attention to it.

Actually I think they just recently changed that didn't they? Because what was happening is sellers were leaving 'positive feedback' but in the notes would say that the buyer was unreliable.

Last time I paid for something that was merch on paypal it gave me the option to cover the fees MYSELF on top of the price - I thought that was pretty cool. And since it was NoTrashCougar I was paying, I did cover the fees. Way to go, Paypal.

Max is $1000 now

You can get cashier's check for any amount you want from the bank.

Look buddy, just PayPal gift me the money and I will verify the funds are there 100% after 90 days.

I am not criticizing you, just trying to learn. Is this really safe? Would fedex insurance cover you completely if the envelope with cash doesn't make it to the destination?

I'm sure it's not 100% safe, but I sold a piece of art for $12k and had the cash sent FedEx Overnight with no problem.

Did that piece of art happen to include you and a couple of hot actresses? Pix or it didn't happen.

You are right!

No way in hell will they have $1000 in the drawer if they don't usually have $300, lol.

Yes, but vid is right as well. Just TRY to cash one in the PO for more than a couple hundred bucks....to the Bank!

Cashier's Checks still take 3 weeks to clear your bank, so they might as well send a personal check.

Cashier's Checks are often counterfeit, that is how the CL scams work.

I don't think so. This is directly for eBays website.

"Sellers aren't able to leave negative or neutral Feedback for buyers."

Personal checks are a promise from the buyer to pay. Can be insufficient funds, can be stopped, etc. I would not agree that personal checks and cashier's checks are "equal." You will run into a problem if you receive a counterfeit, but that goes for both personal and cashier's checks.

And you'd be a fool to send a counterfeit check as payment for a pinball machine delivered to your house since the authorities can find you. However, it might be a viable scam for shipping to an airport or Greyhound hub. The counterfeit scams usually involve sending an overage and having the seller refund the difference in cash.

They are not equal because most people blindly accept a Cashier's Check and foolishly believe that they "are as good as cash" or "clear the bank in 2 days".

People are much more cautious with a Personal Check, when in fact, most internet scams involve a Cashier's Check.

personal check and WAIT the 28? days for it to clear is my personal preference.

You always want it shipped to a bank owned house on a nearby block, never use your own address.

Scammer Joe used to put his hood up in an apartment complex and pretend he was fixing his car. When UPS would come by he'd ask the driver "Is that for 2C?, I'll save you some steps" and take the package directly....

And you can buy several at $.75 each if I'm not mistaken.
