what forms of payment am i compelled to accept?
user
i think cash, travelers checks (little iffy about this one: they're legal tender cash equivalents), and money orders are the only ones that you'd be a little weird to not accept. you certainly don't have to accept regular checks, credit cards, or barter. in the end though, you don't have to accept anything. accept only small bills, accept only checks from certain banks, accept only the diners card.  your sale, your rules.
