Well, if you use GMail and are willing to provide them your checking account information, the person buying the parts can pay you by sending money to your Gmail account.

If course, he needs to have the same set up.

I've been using it successfully when receiving payments from clients to pay invoices. There are no fees, and the money is deposited into my checking account within a couple of days.

https://pay.google.com

Now, I'm not sure if Google Pay is available to users in Canada.

https://venmo.com/ is another option that works in a similar way. Again, should be no fees involved.

Note I do not know about any "buyer or seller protection" features for either of these options.

Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.

I've used the Cash app on my phone a couple of times. You both set up the app. Once the person sends you the money, you get notification. There is a fee if you want the money deposited immediately - free if you're OK with waiting a couple of days.

Don't know if Zelle works in Canada, but if so it works great! No fees, and instant.
