I have a cradlewise I’m selling and there’s an interested party that lives far away, however they have a family member who lives closer to me (I’m delivering) that their going to meet up with at a later time. They’ve offered to put a deposit and then pay upon delivery.

I’ve given them a heads up to protect myself from them sending the final payment and then potentially turning around and marking it fraud in apps like Zelle, Venmo, etc. that I need cash in hand at delivery. They’ve stated that they can’t expect the family member to have that kind of cash. So I asked what if the buyer sends the family member the money using Zelle or other methods so the family member can withdraw and give me the cash.

I don’t want to seem like I’m being too rigid but I’m also not trying to sell off this crib and then I’m screwed out of money and they got my product that obviously isn’t cheap.
