And the check thing is almost always a scam. The scam is to mail you a check that they will add some amount to ($100-$1500) for their ‘shipper’. They then ask (demand) that you give that difference to whomever they have show up to pick up the item. There are variations.
Just stick with PayPal. I’ve used Zelle and Venmo as well. Not confident with CashApp yet.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the response...
Sometimes a person just needs a third party opinion.
Moving forward I will stick to PayPal only and maybe miss a sale or two - but sell and buy with 'confidence'...I guess I will also state to contact me first in the open forum before they PM me. I get PM's now so random and all just throw out their phone numbers...that is where it feels "sketchy" even if the PM's are legitimate questions or comments...
EDIT** I will look into Zelle and Venmo also.
Again, thanks!
Erik
