Well, I, for one, would NOT sell or buy anything on eBay without doing
it through PayPal......

I've happily bought and sold using both bankers_draft-on-collection and
cash-on-collection. The most recent thing I sold, the chap insisted on
paying by Postal Order. A bit of a pain, but fairly risk-free.

Good grief. Do people like that still exist? I had a neighbour at one
time who would insist on going to the gas showroom to pay their bill to
"the gas board" in person and in cash.

My father-in-law used to go to the building society every month to
hand them a cheque for the mortgage.
