Do you guys offer that as an option when selling gear (especially with reverb as they don't offer a cash on collection option)?
I'm thinking it's easier for both parties (no cash hoarding) but I'm a bit wary of the potential pitfall as a seller... Would a signed receipt of collection be enough to fend off potential claims down the road?

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
If they pay by PayPal, it has to be shipped, and if they collect, it has to be cash, zero exceptions.
Is Ebay/Reverb cool with that? From what I gather you have to offer paypal or reverb payments, even if it's collection only.
Never take paypal without proof of postage
I do offer PayPal, and if they insist on it then I insist on shipping it, even if the fee will be astronomical.
I never do 'collection only' because of that exact reason...
I did a bank transfer to someone at 7pm at night, in their house. It didn't go through till the next morning.
Luckily I took screenshots of the payment process, otherwise I would have left with no guitar and down cash!
PayPal via ebay and then collection has a flashing no, but I've done it. But for me it depends on feedback - if someone has 800 feedback and seems genuine, I'll make a call.
But you could be totally turned over, with the buyer saying item not received by post and you not having any tracking - so totally screwed.
