How do you get paid?

[fryman04]

I was wondering how do you get paid when you sell a website for, lets say, $2,500? Do you use paypal, or another service? I am going to sell one of my sites and expect a few thousand for it, but I have no idea on how can I get paid. I live outside the USA, so a check would cost me hundreds of dollars to cash at a bank.

Any tips will be apreciated.

Thanks

escrow.com seems popular

Yup, but they send a check...

Has anyone here sold a hugh priced website using paypal? I'veheard so many nightmare stories about accounts getting frozen...
If you were buying a website, and the seller asked to get paid by paypal, and wait a couple of days to get the chance to transfer the money to the bank, would you do it? That way I could protect myself from getting my account frozen, or having a chargeback. Paypal doens't seem to like payment for virtual thingslike a website or a domain, if someone does a chargeback, it is almost impossible to satisfy paypal and prove that you did send the domain or website to the new owner.

Myself I would rather spend a couple hundred then risk getting nothing b/c of a chargeback or my account frozen. Especially if you are selling for a couple thousand for the sale. IMHO
