Best way to receive funds over the states when selling a car?

[1997RbS14]

So I'm selling my car, have a buyer over states. What's the safest way to receive payment. Cashiers check? Is which I was thinking. Any input helps.

I would not take a cashiers check. I would only do a wire transfer through your own bank- or paypal...

I only do business online through PayPal.nothing else.

Bank transfer is all I would do for large sums. Paypal will tax your ass off.

Direct bank transfer of funds... That's it!

Have them drive in and pay in cash in person and take away the car in person.

That or a personal check for more than what you are selling and you can send them back the difference.

We're talking about a car, not a pair of socks - jackass. Paypal is not secure.

There is only ONE method of accepting payment safely, and thats wire payment. That, or have them swing by a local branch of your banks and deposit in person.
