Best way to get paid online + easiest for buyer?
 

Looking to sell a bike part, $650. Know the buyer, but doesn't live around me.


Don't want to put it on eBay because around 15% fees.

Paypal is stealth account (because banned on paypal) and with $650 they will block account and ask for SSN for tax purposes (SSN already tied to previous banned paypal account).

Downloaded Venmo but I'm not sure if it's like paypal, with one large payment for a new user if they will ban?

Buyer is older guy, he doesn't know crypto and it will be too much work for him to set up crypto account. Same thing with sending check in the mail is too much work.

I agree, they check with the payer to make sure its OK.

zells,venmo,may all be too much for an old man,what about ACH,he must have a bank account.
or Western Union,but he has to go to a WU store,
how about cash on delivery?
he can take a chance and send you cash,well concealed in a large box

That's odd - it was normal back in the day

if sending check is too much work,how is he going to pay you,is he coming t o pick up the item and pay you cash.
maybe he does no have a checking account,he can go to a grocery and buy you a money order,go to post office and buy you a postal order or send you cash well concealed.
Is he going to use your parts to repair his bike,wont that be too much work for a 80 years old?
