I would want to have the cash secure and in hand if I were selling before I sent out some thing as valuable as your 7D. There is also a scam floating around using money orders and cashier checks, you take those in payment and you do not find out till weeks later that it was no good. Plus it needs to be a form of payment they can recall on you.


A $200 item I would be less concerned about, loosing $200 bucks and I wouldn't be as demanding on how I got paid.


Whether they pay the shipping or you pay it, you have to take that in to consideration in your price. Sounds like these guys are just to work a better deal out. If they bought it from B&H they get charged shipping, why not from you as well. If the buyer wants insurance he should pay for it, not you.
