| Would like another payment method added - "Other" - or something to that effect.
Ran into this scenerio: We only accept PayPal as payment method but agreed to
bypass and accept money order at the request of a buyer. Problem is, when checking
out, their only option is PayPal.
Thanks!

a method that you specifically do not accept. You leave yourself open to all
sorts of scam potential. Are you prepared to accept via Western Union?

Trading "personal" favors for LEGO is against the rules somewhere... that's what
Craigslist is for.

There are over 20 payment methods available to choose from. Why not just add
"money order" as one of your accepted payment methods?

| Correct! We don't want to accept them on a routine basis.
I was also concerned about abuse. Actually, that risk probably outweighs the
benefit of adding the option.
Thanks all!

Does not matter what the payment method checked, as long as payment is made.
They can check Paypal and pick up with cash, as long as the Buyer and Seller
are in agreement, not an issue. BrickLink does not use that data in any manner
in the database.

Bricklink doesn't enforce the choice of Payment Option. You could have a handshake
agreement that the buyer will do yard work for the seller, the buyer could be
forgiving a debt that the seller owes for full value in parts, or any other number
of crazy possibilities. Hey, maybe the buyer has photo evidence that seller
was cheating on his/her diet and the seller is offering free parts to keep the
SO from being informed. The only important thing is that both the buyer and
seller agree that "payment" was delivered in full. So if something like this
happens again, just tell the buyer to click "Paypal" and then go ahead and pay
you by whatever method you've already agreed to.
