if i have two people that want a part. one is gonna pay pal me (instant payment) and the other i have to wait for them to go buy the money order and then i have to wait how ever many days for the thing to be mailed to me which am i taking? damn right i'm taking the pay pal. your nuts not to. instant payment vs. trusting the guy is not going to take his good old time sending me the money while i could have had the money in my account already, or worse backing out sticking me with the part that could have already been sold.
bottom line is the part is still for sale until i have payment (or atleast a nice deposit in my possession). first come first serve. how do i know the payment was really mailed? with paypal i know it was sent and i have it in my account right away so the part is yours..
