I just recently had a buyer back out of purchasing a part because he didn't want to send me a check before I sent him the part. I have sold trucks and parts this way without a problem. Admittedly I have purchased items from 2 different individuals that turned out not to be what I felt I was told I was receiving. I was eventually able to re-sell both of these items, but that's more unnecessary hassel.
In this type of purchase, someone has to take a risk and trust the other person.
I would be interested in suggestions as to how to satisfy both buyer and seller when there is a significant distance between them.
Paypal works for some people, but not everyone likes or uses Paypal.
