- I believe (correct me if wrong) that it is illegal to send large amounts of cash in the mail. I have the same policy here and on fleabay, that I do not accept cash. I once had someone ignore that, choose the "cheque" option (in the UK same as me) and then send me cash in banknotes. Luckily I got them checked and they were genuine, so I sent the item, but I wasnt too impressed! if that had gone missing there could have been no end of hassle. If you do accept the cash, make sure the notes are genuine before sending the item, because I have heard of people doing this to buy things with forged currency.
I agree with magnets
also make sure that if they send cash, that it is sent registered and insured.Make sure you tell him/her that cash is sent at his own risk - and you will not be held responsible if it goes astray in the post.
You receive the cash (in your own currency) - send the item out - remembering to obtain proof of postage to the address he requests it sent to.
Whats the worse thing that can happen?
If he/she claims item not received....
He can only leave a neg fb - you respond with a link to a photograph of proof of postage to his address, and forward a copy of that to ebid support to prove it to them.
If all thats fine, then I would go ahead with the transaction. If not, I would cancel.
I've had cash sales in the past.
Their package was shipped when cash was received and counted..
Cash on most orders are usually sent Priority Mail, insured and delivery confirmation.
