Without going into all the detail....I closed my PayPal account after 14 years with them for reasons related to Ebay purchases by scammers . I will never use PayPal again.....EVER.
My question is.....Can I sell my K3 and accept a different payment such as certified check , or Postal money order ? Per the rules I'm only aware that International sales NEED a Pay Service such as PayPal for transactions over $100......I will be selling USA only so this shouldn't apply ? Correct ?

Yes, you may sell on the forum. We do not require that Paypal specifically (or any particular pay service) be offered as a payment option.
You are correct that the pay service requirement does not apply if you are selling within your country.

There is an exception to the pay service requirement for international sales, as well.

Quote:

The only exception to this rule is if the seller agrees to ship the item first before receiving payment. While this would be at the seller's discretion, Pentax Forums does not recommend it, nor will they assume any liability for such transactions.

Yes, you can certainly still sell. There are no restrictions for domestic transactions. For international transactions above $100, the only requirement is that you offer a payment service with buyer protection (there are many others apart from paypal).
