Over the past year, I've only been a buyer here, not a seller, so I can only speak from one side of the fence. But, in that time, I've seen threads fot at least a half of a dozen "buyers" get burned on sales, and I might have missed them, but no threads on buyers being had. Again my experience is limited across forums, as I mainly surf this one, but this general group of people amaze me of the overall kindness and honesty. There are always exceptions to any rule, but it is a huge relief to me to see(read) the politeness, helpfulness, and overall decency on this forum, when being keyboard warriors is so rampant on the internet. I have purchased many live and dry goods from people here and have had nothing but the best experiences. It takes a lot of trust from both parties to make it work. Especially with something like PayPal. My wife has been burned with her business having to use PayPal, so I understand your frustration with that. Bottom line, there needs to be trust. By you, and from you. That's for all of us who wish to buy and sell. There's no place in society for anyone to want to resort to scamming anybody. I work hard for my money, just like most of us. Nothing worse than dealing with someone trying to take a shortcut off someone else's back.
With all of that being said, good luck with the sale. If I still had my big tank setup, I'd be interested. If you would trust me, that is ! Lol.
