I have sold on eBay before they increase taking 9% out of what I charged for shipping, I have never had any problem selling or paying for items bought here or on Ebay. I think it is the safest way to conduct business with total strangers. If I was doing craft shows and had a smart phone, there are options like the Square when you can swipe a person's credit card. I always ship using PayPal because you get discounts on shipping charges so the delivery notification 19c is then paid for which is real cheap insurance. My friend sells blocks on eBay and she has had a customer saying they never received the package. I always verify a customer address to make sure it is current before shipping. Remember, in most disputes, the customer is usually right from PayPal's view.
