Sold truck. Safest way to receive payment?

If you have a business account you will likely be charged for paying in a cheque or cash.

Bank transfer is by far the easiest if it all goes to plan.

Landy was trickier as the bank anti-fraud kicked in and blocked the transfer so that took a bit of sorting out, but still better than carrying nine grand in cash on the train which was the other option.

I sold a 4x4 once and the buyers anti-fraud kicked in and blocked the transfer (on a Friday afternoon), obviously he wasn't going to be driving it away without the guarantee that the money was in my account.
Luckily he was relatively local, so didn't have that far to come again.

 

I like @stihl123 suggestion of a transaction made beforehand so the anti-fraud shouldn't kick in. Possibly that £1 transfer also means that a 'contract' for sale has been made between yourselves.

 

I take it was sold on an online auction website? Prepare yourself for non-paying buyers, messers, tyre-kickers - and occasionally some of the nicest, most genuine people you hope to deal with.
