After trying to sell my Pfaff 2056 locally with no luck, I sold it on Ebay using Paypal for them to pay. It sold in two days. I had it professionally packed and shipped at UPS and that was included in the price. Paypal holds the buyers money until the buyer receives the product and has a little time to unpack it. When all is clear they make the money available to you, the seller. I felt like it was very safe and money and product protected on both sides. I would use paypal again for that kind of transaction. Of course, they do charge a fee for the transaction based on the selling price.
