Wait time on items FS
Just a quick question guys. When you place an item FS whats the "normal" wait time on getting a check in the mail? How long do you wait?
Thats why I like using Paypal once the $$ is there you ship plain and simple no worrys about the guy pulling your leg, lost mail etc. Any thoughts?

waiting
Usually 7-10 days , then I send an Email, I usually send an Email as an Update kind of thing, " Just to let you know the Funds have not arrived yet" . PayPal has worked very well for me.

Ditto. Especially Paypal. Sold something to a guy in Norway yesterday. Got paid today. It gets shipped tomorrow.
With cheques(checks OK) or money orders it could be weeks. One incident this year I waited for a money order (was sent out a week after it was indicated) for two and a half weeks. Then it was a US MO which cannot be cashed in Canada. Sent it back and finally got an International MO a couple of weeks later. 7-10 days is minimum.
Paypal is almost instant. Worth the fee!
