I'm looking at putting my HH Deep Jungle XL with Typhoon tarp up for sale.
but what I'm needing info on is how does most people do the exchange of money.
do you wait on a check to clear then mail item out.
is there a western union transfer or do most use paypal.
any and all info would me great.
I want to make sure that not only myself but any potential buyer is comfortable with how it will work and be very happy in the end.
thanks

lots of peop[e use paypal.
Most use paypal. There is a small fee for the seller, so take that into account on your price.
Don't forget to read the rules (no gift paypal allowed)

Paypal or Amazon Payments is usually preferred for online transactions.
I use paypal.
Western Union has become questionable. Most people use PayPal they are well established and reasonably safe. Money Orders and transfers carry risks. A check might clear your account, bounce around a bit and be charged back to your account. I only take checks form people I know personally. Postal Money Orders are sometimes used, however they are not as safe as PayPal.
Do some research and see which method of payment works the best for you.
ok I think I have some trhings about selling and getting paid from Paypal figured out.
I can email the buyer an invoice thru paypal and then that person uses there paypal to pay it.
then when money is at paypal in my wallet I can have it put into my bank account or use it to buy other stuff and pay for it with my paypal account but use thar money not my credit card..
hope I have that right.

sounds about right.
it's still your money though paypal keeps track of it and charges fees.
emailing a paypal invoice is a good method but not required unless you are dealing with lots of sales and want to keep track.

If you use PayPal make sure to allow a couple of days for the money to clear into your bank account before shipping
Caution is always good. Sometimes there is a glitch, so russbus's suggestion is a wise one.Originally Posted by russbus
Sometimes $ goes into an account and then is reversed, so giving a couple of days to be sure everything is kosher is a good plan.
