  The person who sends cash in the mail asssumes the risk....   it doesn't matter if he was told to do it....somebody telling   you to do something should not override one's best judgement.   Cash payments can be sent disguised in ways to reduce the   odds of loss, but ethicly it's the buyer's onus until the seller has    it in hand.

OK friends...

Here is a situation that we all could find ourselves in.

Two reliable, mature & honest CR members agree to a transaction.

Person A ships object to Person B & he receives it.

Person B sends the correct amount of cash to person A.

Person A does not receive payment, it is lost in the mail. A year long wait prove this...

Who is responsible for the loss? Who is "out", the seller or the buyer?
