I don’t think it’s reasonable for a new member no one knows anything about to request friends and family PayPal, especially for a large amount of money. No offense meant, but people are going to want protection. For all they know, you could take the money and not ship the knives, or not have them at all. It seems that your only posts have been about selling. Of course, you are free to request what you want, I just don’t think you will get much interest this way.
