Let's say I am having a yard sale (for example), and I tell PayPal-capable customers to use Send Money with the personal option (such that I pay no fee upon receipt). In order for the transfer to be instantaneous, so that I could look in my account and see that the money is safely arrived before handing over the sold item, what do I have to know about the Sender? That he/she is paying with a PayPal balance? That he/she is paying by debit card but not credit card? Or maybe I misunderstand and this is not a valid way of collecting instant payments (from PayPal-capable buyers). Please let me know.
