Accepting Cash

As a seller, there's nothing better than opening up an envelope and finding a few crisp new bills inside. Unfortunately, sending cash through the mail is not one of the smartest things a buyer can do; cash is too easily ripped off, and virtually untraceable. While you can ask for cash payment, don't expect buyers to complyespecially since eBay recommends against this method of payment.

In all my auctions, I accept personal checks, money orders, cashier's checks, and credit cards (via PayPal). Most buyers these days end up using PayPal, so I make sure to factor those charges into my cost of doing business.
