Cash in bank account - how safe?

Someone has bought something from me & has said they will put the cash into my account, like a bank transfer but will do in the branch so it clears instantly.

It is being sent Special Delivery so would it be ok to post to a work's address? :confused:

    Yes and Yes

    Both will be fine. No chargebacks etc. Just go online and check the money is in your account before posting.

    Make absolutely sure that they have put cash into your account.

    It is apparantly possible that other forms of payment may show up as 'cash'.

    Not sure how likely this is, but you can bet your life that the scammers will know.

    Wire transfer is definately safe for sellers. Just check and confirm money is in your account before shipping out the merchandise.
