What Transaction Services are You Using?

I missed the locked portion of the classified ads screen - even though it was the first thing to read on the posting page... argh!

Hi - Ready to face the fact that I am not likely to ever use some of the Festool items I own. What method do you trust or prefer.
I live in a rural part of Illinois that does not have a whole lot of Festool fans, so I'm stuck with selling online.

Thanks

I use paypal, it's pretty universal, though the customer service isn't great when there are problems. But my experience has been that problems aren't common.
I do far more buying via paypal than selling.

Aside from the fees, I'd avoid selling via paypal if possible. Don't know the state in the US, but here in OZ there's a lot of fraud from people paying for stuff via paypal, getting the goods, and then lodging a claim. In a lot of cases paypal's just automatically refunded the buyer, with no requirement to send the goods back.

I'd be using "friends and families" via paypal instead for ad-hoc stuff, I don't think it's treated the same as general paypal payments, so less prone to getting ripped off by scumbags.
