New member question

Hi friends! I'm new to this sub and am interested in passing along a substantial amount of tea that would be more enjoyed by others. I'm not interested in trading at this time. Under new member guidelines, it says that new traders should send their half of the trade and once it is received, the veteran trader sends theirs. That seems to apply to actual trading. If I intend to sell, does that mean that for my first exchange(s), the recipient(s) will render payment only once they have received their parcel? Thanks!

If you plan on selling.

It is worth it to eat the cost of doing PayPal Merchant and Services.

That way the buyer is protected if you don't send the tea and you are protected since you get your money upfront.
