Saddle selling - what's the best way to ask for payment?

[katelarge]

Hello all!

I am selling my Albion dressage saddle (probably will put in on the BD site), but am wondering what's the best way to ask for payment? I have sold a saddle before, but it was only a few hundred pounds, so I asked for cash. However, the Albion will be much more as it's a mint SLK Ultima package, with girth, s/cloth, leathers, irons, etc.

Is it still fair to ask for cash, or maybe a banker's draft? Or should I trust a cheque will be OK? THanks!

I would go for cash or bankers draft, but preferably cash!

I would watch out for forged bankers drafts http://www.autotrader.co.uk/safety_and_security/forged_bankers_drafts.jsp

Paypal is not perfect but an option too?

Cash has to be king though!

Sorry....I know the article refers to cars but forged bankers drafts are forged bankers drafts

Paypal is the safest way. This way the buyer can choose how they want to pay - credit card, bank transfer, etc.

You also won't have to worry about waiting for the transfer or cashing a cheque.

Its very easy to set up an account.
