Selling without PayPal

I think it depends a lot on the reputation of who is buying/selling. That's what I like about this forum, it has a feedback profile section. I'm not saying it's foolproof but it has given me a warm fuzzy more than once. As to paying for parts? I like PP. As options, if the seller will take it I will send a check or even cash if the seller seems to warrant that level of trust. USPS MO is a last resort. It is a PITA to get one even in my one horse town. I'm guessing a larger city is even worse. Just my two cents.
