PayPal or?

I have been selling parts for others, many on this forum, since last November.
I prefer PayPal only. To be able to use the service you do need to establish an account. Very easy. But it does take a few days to get it going without limitations.
The instructions at the PayPal site are clear. Just type in PayPal in your search bar and look for the "setting up account" instructions.

With PayPal, anyone with a credit card can pay you for a purchase. Very secure. When the payment comes in, it arrives with an email announcement to you. The PayPal account number is set up acccording your instructions. I simply use my own email address as my PayPal account to simplify things.

Keep in mind, PayPal does take a fee(about 3 to 5%) depending on the amount. What gets deposited in your account is what is left. Then at your leisure, you use this money to buy things or just transfer it to you checking account.(this will also be previously set up by you).

What I like about PayPal the most, I sell and ship worldwide. I communicate in English and dollars only. If someone from any other country pays me through PayPal, the money exchange and language translation is done. All included in the same 3 to 5% fee.

Then there are those who may not have credit cards. No problem, I have accepted and had no problem with US postal money orders. With these, you get full value.

Cashiers checks and personal checks are, for me, strictly avoided.
