<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1390329, member: 112&quot;]You either come to an agreement that suits both parties or you don&#039;t. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think you talking about two different situations here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Situation 1 - you, a private individual, are selling your coin/coins to a dealer. </p><p><br /></p><p>No dealer, at least none that I ever heard of, is going to send you payment until he has the coins in his hand. In fact he won&#039;t even make an offer until he has the coins in his hand and can examine them. Only then will he make an offer that you either accept or reject. If you accept his offer then he sends you a company check. </p><p><br /></p><p>Situation 2 - you, a private individual, are selling a coin/coins to another private individual. In this situation you require payment be made before you ever ship the coins. Payment can take the form of a check or a money order, but if it does then the check/money order has to clear before you ever ship the coin/coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Or, if you choose, you can accept PayPal, and then ship the coins once PayPal tells you the money is in your account. But that&#039;s up to you to decide for PayPal has certain risks involved. A PayPal transaction can be disputed, you might win or you might lose the dispute. So that is a risk. And it is why some people don&#039;t like PayPal. Whereas with checks and money orders, once cleared, you have the money in your hand and nobody can take it back from you without going to court. So checks and money orders are safer for the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course buyers see it from the other perspective, they see themselves as the ones being at risk if they use a check or money order because what happens if they are not happy with the coin. Then they have to trust you to refund their money. Some people don&#039;t like doing that. So that is why they prefer PayPal, because getting their money back is easier. They are trusting a 3rd party, PayPal, instead of trusting you. And many people would rather do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end it comes down to what I said to start with, the two parties either reach an agreement regarding payment that each finds agreeable or they don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>But things get a lot easier if you have 1 rule and follow it - you only deal, whether buying or selling, with people that you know and trust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
