<p>[QUOTE="Peter T Davis, post: 1975811, member: 1"]There is at least one advantage to sending cash through the mail as opposed to Paypal gift. When you send something through the mail, ie mail the cash, and you get ripped off, it is a federal crime and you can report it to the U.S. Postal Inspectors. Dunno how anyone else feels, but I'd be more afraid of having the U.S. Postal Inspectors after me than Paypal. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as making a rule here on CoinTalk goes, it's not really practical. I don't think it's our place to put ourselves in between people transacting business. For the most part, everyone here has been very good to one another. We haven't had more than one or two cases a year where someone got ripped off. Yea, we'd like to avoid those rare cases too, but simple precautions like not sending cash or paying with a Paypal gift payment can go a long way in helping prevent unfortunate situations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
