All For Sale threads must have a pic showing the knife being sold with written date listed, your username & Bladeforums or BFC to prevent photo harvesting from elsewhere - scammers hate this one trick! The rules for The Exchange can be found here. Please read and follow them. Stop using Paypal Friends & Family and follow our best practices to prevent getting ripped off or having a bad deal.

Old school here....hate PayPal to death.
I've sent the knife (knives) via USPS or UPS insured with a DC or Signature Required.
Upon receipt of the M.O. I wait until confirmation via email/text/phonecall that they are indeed happy with their purchase.
For example, I just sent a knife to AZ today. Emailed the tracking number and already received a response that they are tracking it.
Once I get confirmation they received it and it passes their "muster", I cash the M.O. and all is good.

Up to you on when to ship, but nothing wrong for you to wait for confirmed PP payment receipt. If you only want MO or check, you can wait until that clears before shipping.
Just don't try and charge the buyer for the PP fees, that's considered a "no no" since that's part of the expenses a Seller agreed to pay to Paypal.

I'd always recommend getting funds before you ship a knife. Just give then your PayPal address and any stipulations you may have (gift, add 3%, etc) and the rest is up to them!
Have you seen how many problems "gifting" of funds has caused? This is one signal of a scam in process since the Buyer has no recourse to get any money back if the sale is not completed.
Do you understand that it is the responsibility of the Seller to pay the fees? This is a stipulation in the terms when signing-up with PayPal.
