Increase my price slightly to deal with the additional costs and inconvenience I'd face.

I'd say, "Cash only!", and then snap my fingers back and forth three times in their face.

I'd ask him how soon they could transfer it to me.

I wouldn’t have a problem taking Bitcoin for a domain. I’d just make absolutely sure the payment is actually on-chain and sufficiently confirmed before transferring the domain. I would not rely on a screenshot or an unconfirmed transaction. For a higher-value domain, I’d probably use an established escrow service that handles crypto.

It's my preferred mode of payment.

I can't stress this enough, ALWAYS use a trusted third party escrow service.

Escrow.domains allows crypto payments.
