I guess I'm lucky - my buyer in Canada mails me the cash. I do use Paypal and have for over 10 years with only a few problem. They are good police about the site and will call if there is a problem. Just pay their little fees (add it to you selling price). Make sure you charge enough postage to get to the UK. It is expensive to mail out of the US. But I would go ahead and get Paypal and use it.
