Personal address or PO Box?

For all you face painters who prefer physical deposit/retainer fee (check, cash, money order, whatever you take), how do you prefer to RECEIVE it? Do you give the person your home address for the payment to be sent to? Do you have a PO Box set up? Do you meet them in a dark alley behind Starbucks and take it in person? (I kid, I kid)

I don't exactly like the idea of PayPal or any electronic payment (or personal checks), but I also feel a little uncomfortable giving my address to anyone I don't know personally. And I don't know anything about PO Boxes, except that its NOT your home address and you can get stuff mailed there (at the post office right? Or am I completely off here? haha).


And I've tried searching this topic in the search bar but nothing came up, so I'm turning to you lovely ladies and gents directly for help 

I use paypal, or have them send it to my home address.
My address is on my google listing, because I'm on google maps, anyways.
Never been a problem.

Google knows all. There really is no hiding from people anymore.
I also have never had any trouble with payapl and have used it for many years.
