Is Pay Pal or Venmo good method to conduct business?
I have a couple things to sell and am not sure which is better, or if there’s a difference.

Goody02 and brimark both scammers be careful with WTB ads
Never had that happen before but maybe he is out of town? A phone call usually is a good indicator too. Also how did he pay? Maybe trying to make a case against you through PayPal that you never shipped?Just sold a scope and received funds but the guy wants me to wait a week or two to send to him. Fishy? or is he just hiding it from his wife lol
I'm holding all the cards so don't think its a scam but....
I have been on the site a long time, and been a seller on and off as need be.I am a pretty new seller here and have gotten a number of "Still Available?" posts and PM's from brand new (first post or so) members. They then "vaporize" and don't respond to my PM's back.
I don't see the purpose if they are scammers as I am the selling party for the rifle involved. It does result in a longer thread and maybe some legit buyers may not respond right after a "PM Sent" post.
Maybe I have been unlucky and they are legit and just change their mind? Are there any other motives for this?
Odd, I am not able to edit my Thread Title or Description in my Buy - Sell - Trade post. I am simply wanting to edit both areas to reflect that I sold my item. what do you @alexj-12 recommend?Before you take part in a purchase or sale, check the feedback section of the buyer or seller's profile to see feedback from previous experiences with that user. Member profile>Feedback Stats. If a user doesn't have much feedback, proceed at your own risk. If you do complete a purchase, do everyone else a favor and add your own feedback for that user which is also done from the user's profile.

What is to stop them from not sending anything and disappearing?However you’re comfortable. Make sure person has good feedback or people to vouch for them. I’ve done zelle and PayPal
Good feedback and people to vouch for them. No doubt there’s a sense of trust. If they don’t have feedback- ask for someone that is on the hide that can vouch ( that person better have feedback…). U can always ask for a phone number and call the person. You’ll figure out real quick if it’s real or notWhat is to stop them from not sending anything and disappearing?
Posts under that acct name have been placed in banned status and the threads have been re titled "Hacked Account" with Do Not Send Money replacing the txt. The mods/admin are all over it.Someone want to check into justwoody1
Posted an ad for a bipod, photos are identical to another user's ad, and the ad is now deleted.
Should add, user is a long time member, looked legit.
There a way to contact mods/admins if this happens again? He was making new posts really quickly, I was resorting to hitting the report button and DM'ing anyone that replied with an "I'll take it" to warn them.Posts under that acct name have been placed in banned status and the threads have been re titled "Hacked Account" with Do Not Send Money replacing the txt.

Just report it is all I know. Maybe PM a mod but I don’t know who is on when.There a way to contact mods/admins if this happens again? He was making new posts really quickly, I was resorting to hitting the report button and DM'ing anyone that replied with an "I'll take it" to warn them.
Thanks
We are definitely gonna talk on the phone before I buy anything from you.
This has been brought up to my attention by @Btar21 that he was scammed by other member in a transaction using my pics of the items from other listing, so I would like to leave a tip that has helped me through out the years on every forums from couple hundreds to thousands dollar worth of transactions. That is always ASK for a fresh pic of the items that has a HAND-WRITTEN note with the information OF YOUR CHOICE (your phone number or date for example) included. If seller fails to provide this or turns aggressive, IT IS TIME TO WALK AWAY. It’s not worth the hassle. A true seller would not hesitate to accommodate his/her customers. This is why I always include a hand written note on every pic in my listings, just to give buyers a peace of mind when dealing with me.As a little addition to my previous post, after further investigation, the pics of the item I was buying that Casbigg sent were actually taken from other members legit previous sales post. If you don’t know the seller, be sure to do just a few checks and balances. I got lazy and it cost me.
Older post, I know, but haven't seen anyone else answer it.Is there any legit reason for a seller not to accept PayPal goods and services if the buyer pays the fees?
I’ve never been paid via G&S before so I’m clueless. Is there a hold on their account or anything?
What are these new sites that will hold money until everyone is satisfied?Recently completed a sale for $6500
Took pics as requested
Had buyers name on a paper with date and rifle in pics “ hostage pic” to ensure item is in their possession and available
Exchanged phone numbers for texting
Reviewed the feedback of buyer
always have had great transactions but be sure to protect yourself
there also new sites that will hold money in transactions till both parties are satisfied
