Hi there:
My answer is that your comfort level will determine your choices. Kijiji works very well but it's limited to local buyers. It's a great way to start. And yes, you must realize that on kijiji everyone is expecting to be allowed to dicker a little bit.
Meeting people at a neutral site (and maybe take along a friend or trusted person if the value of the item is high) is a good solution. Cash is my preference. It's not that hard to learn what a counterfeit note looks and feels like.
Here's two websites to learn from:
1)
http://www.ehow.com/how_7795673_rec...n-money.html2)
http://www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/Money orders and bank drafts are also very secure.
ebay takes approx. 10% of your money (depending on the format of your auction) and paypal another 3% so that's a big chunk. The benefit is that
ebay is a "worldwide market" so there's lots more potential customers - especially for a pricier item.
I hope this helps
Good luck!
