Buyer is asking to take a payment by certified check. Should I accept it?

You could ask for a money order instead. Those have to be purchased with cash and made out to you before they are sent. You can then put the bby in reserve as the sale is pending.

It’s like getting money. Probably just as safe as PayPal. The person has payed the money to get the check just like a money order. She is at more risk than you really.
