Yes, I stuck to the golden rule "nothing ships until cash is in hand"
I must admit I am not quite done with PayPal because it allows me to take credit card payments on large money Items. I will just transfer funds immediately to my bank & then immediately empty that account. Although I am out of the crate money & will never build a crate again until I receive the funds.
The purchaser in this incident had a story that I think is true, but in reality you never really know. I backed out of the deal even though he offered to overnight a M.O.
I took it as a sighn to keep my starfire I worked so hard on.
I will also say to be weary of advise you get from this forum, Although most is very good if you read the other post 1st page you will see incorrect info given as if it was fact. "send as soon as you receive funds in your paypal account not your bank account" I believe is an exact quote.
Probably written by the potential buyer!!
