Depends on who it is and where they are. I've sent/received PayPal, USPS Money Orders, personal checks, etc. I've even sent cash. Just all depends.

I've accepted paypal and checks. Paying through paypal seems pretty easy and quick from what I've seen.

From this site I have done money orders and personal checks. With the guys I know well here, we have even sent the stuff before the payment arrives. Only one guy here ever came close to burning me and it was due to some pretty big family stuff going on. I got my part, it just took a while.
When I sell locally on Craig's List I accept cash only on pickup.
PayPal does seem to work nice and they will help you out if there is a problem too.

I used to use Paypal when I bought and sold a lot of Ebay but got to be a bit afraid of it. I kept getting so many real looking emails from people trying to steal from me I never was sure what was a real email from Paypal and what was a scam. I know there are ways to tell but I was always worrying about it. Plus it started costing to use them at times.
I don't buy or sell much anymore. From somebody on here or the Maverick/Comet site I am a member of a personal check always works fine. Just a matter of if you think you can trust them or not. Trust is a hard thing to come by these days that is for sure. Also probably depends on the amount of money you are talking about. lol
