I am not an expert on this stuff at all. However, I thought PayPal would have been mentioned amongst the alternatives. Now I am wondering if there is a reason it wasn't?

I have give them a cashiers chek for $5,000 that I happen to have, they can cache it at there bank, keep $1500 an give me $3500 change in cache. I will then await the prompt arrival of your check for $1500. Consider it a temporary fiendly loan.
Or have them go to their bank and do a transfer to you. Immediate, reasonably cheap and safe.

Yeah, I mentioned it, but no feedback. Not sure if they have fees or a "holding" period.

Fees for sure. 3.5% I think, if you don't already have an account you will most likely have a holding period.

PayPal should have no fees if they send it as a "gift".

We use Square Cash via email - no fees. Need to link your debit cards on either end of the transaction. Has worked flawlessly for many transactions.

It's like they want to get paid for providing you a service. Jerks.

yeah, looks like google wallet has the same options, but has to be debit cards. Good to know for the future tho.
