I'm a seller on localbitcoins looking for a few ways to receive money anonymously. With all the hub-bub about banks accounts being frozen just because a new buyer mentions he is making a cash deposit for bitcoins, I'd like to find more secure ways of securing a payment.
Methods I'm considering:
1. Cash by mail - A little risky and takes a while to reach you, but truly anonymous.
2. Western Union? - Do I need to provide my SSN to receive money?
3. Moneygram - Same question as WU

you don't need to provide your SSN, just an ID with western union i believe. have you considered buying amazon gift cards for when you want to cash out? or possibly spending your BTC to buy something. |

Yes, but I would then have to buy something with the Amazon gift card and re-sell that right? Thought about doing that with iPads but it takes a bit of work and you could lose money in the process. ie I buy an ipad air for $500 and am only able to resell for $450. There isn't really a market for reselling the gift cards here on craigslist and I'm hesitant to do business on ebay since it's paypal. |

Yes you have to give your drivers license to pick up WU which is just about as bad as SSN. Be careful with Amazon GC as people can buy them with stolen credit cards and then they reverse them. Or if you haven't applied it to your acct immediately, they can cancel them at any time. |

Cash by mail is the perfect method. In Bitmit we had a trusted seller named nlvoric, who used to exchange USD/EUR/CHF/JPY banknotes for Bitcoins. Unfortunately Bitmit closed down 2 months ago.

Just wondering how 'cash in the mail' can be defined as being 'truly anonymous'? The person paying would know your name and address?  |

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

By mail. Without doubt most anonymous. Especially if you don't use your name and address.
