I get a niche of buyers who prefer people who specialize in checks only and my feedback is very strong so I don't think most buyers hesitate to send me a check. Ocassionally, I might get someone here and there that didn't realize I didn't accept paypal and they want out of the deal and believe it or not as long as it is under $75 and they have decent feedback I will offer to send them the coin first and they can send payment after they receive it. I think they are shocked when they here this, but I've done it twice now in the past 2 years and not once did anyone stiff me. As for paypal what alot of people fail to realize is that yes they do offer protection, but what you must ask yourself will they reimburse you if you wake up one day and your checking account or paypal account was hacked into and all of the funds illegally withdrawn? I just feel that if someone has a great feedback record that is enough for me and if they were to rip me off all I would do is email them their local police department's number and if I don't here from them within so many days I will file a criminal complaint. Paypal is overrated in my opinion and I've heard of many unsatisfied complaints of people who sought buyer protection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
