I've just sold something on a well known auction site and assumed I'd be paid via PayPal (I didn't offer any alternative).
The buyer wants to pay be cheque - assuming I wait for clearance before posting is there any downside?

Thanks.

Yup, I would be reluctant to give a stranger my bank details,
but what protection does PayPal give me as a seller?

I've sent him a message to say that it has to be paid by PayPal
and if he can't do that, I'm happy to cancel the sale.

I've received a PP payment, there seems to be a plausible explanation
which I won't go into now, but if I do end up being scammed I'll tell you
all, and you can have a laugh at my expense biggrin.
BTW my item is eligible for Seller Protection.
