Well, as the seller there is no reason why you cannot request a postal Money Order from the buyer.
When you list it for sale just state Payment By Money Order Only.
Then you can ship as soon as payment is received and do not have to wait until a personal check clears.
The bottom line for the buyer is that it is "Let The Buyer Beware" and the buyer must trust that you will ship his item after he pays & payment is recd.
The buyer does have one safeguard though and that is that it is a Felony to use the U.S. Mail to commit Mail Fraud which is what you would be doing if you received payment but, did not send the item.
You should ship the holster to the buyer Insured and with Delivery Confirmation.
Since it benefits you AND the buyer both by doing that.
That is your proof that you shipped and the package made it to the destination as the Delivery Confirmation Bar Code gets scanned at the door at the time of delivery - so the buyer cannot tell you that he did not get the package or that you did not ship it.
And then if the package gets lost...the buyer is fully covered by the Insurance.
So if you want $85.00 for the holster...then charge the Buyer for the shipping cost and the Insurance...(unless you are feeling generous) and you pay for the additional Delivery Confirmation.
The Delivery Confirmation is a nice addition because the Buyer can track his or her package at USPS.com using the Delivery Confirmation tracking number. You can send him (or her) that tracking number through E-mail or Private Forum mail.
