Selling without PayPal

I've taken money orders or you could even accept personal checks, and ship AFTER they cleared (usually 10 days). Slows the paying/shipping process but it works. I've not had any problems with Pay Pal ever, but that's mute because you did and you are moving on.
I have bought a couple of parts lately, the seller does not do paypal. I just send him personal checks. I know I could get shafted, but he advertises and sells lots of early B parts on FB site. You got to have faith is humanity some days!
