This is the point in the negotiations where splitting a job up into a couple or 
several smaller chunks might make it go, instead of stalling at the "Why should 
I trust you to deliver/Why should I trust you to pay?"  stage.  Creating the 
google checkout buttons or invoices to suit negotiations is easy for the 
seller/developer.

There are so many scammers who will sound so solid on the phone until you ask 
them to do something...like send a payment...  I would make it part of my terms 
that a small amount of money moves and a small amount of work gets done, then 
larger and larger til done...  Even if it all is in the "expensable petty cash" 
range of money for a bounty setting business.
