Cash only if it was a private sale, as can be evidenced from the above posts bank transfers can be reversed and even your account closed if the buyer cries fraud to their bank.
It's also the reason why so many people get done on FB marketplace. gumtree etc - so keen to pay bank transfer.

Is this even possible? I just need to know before I go ahead? As soon as I see the money in my bank account is that it then?Many thanksI came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.1
