Personally I think should ban anyone asking anything other than pay pal. They all know better. No need to warn anyone scammers don’t warn anyone.

Before the item shipsI am new not shipped or sold anything online and I have a question. Let's say you have a potential buyer and you are ready to ship. When will the buyer send the money? Before the item is shipped or after it arrives? I know this is a doltish question but I don't have the answer.
David, your feedback is noted. Unfortunately, due to more instances than we prefer to recall where buyers have payed through Venmo or PayPal Friends & Family (against our warning) and been scammed, the rule stands that sellers are not allowed to request payment through unprotected forms of payment. This doesn't have to be PayPal, but it does have to be a form of payment that offers buyer protection.Well if this is the most swift kick in the pants I've ever read. PayPal is not the end all be all of payment methods. Scaring people into believing that their life savings is going to possibly be taken, simply because others do not use pay pall is not a proper protection practice IMO. its promoting fear and distrust. Im an honest man always have been an I personally feel that being labeled as a potential crimnal simply because I use other forms of payments. Is also unfair an unjust. Millions of people use these group prohibited payment methods. Again IMO Yall need to get with the times and start using a washing machine instead of going to the river to wash your clothes. As for pay pal protecting us. That's not true either the very first transaction I had in this group, I used PayPal for the first time ever, I mailed off my item after the transaction was done via pay pal., got an email via this group from the buyer saying the item was great. PayPal starts calling me months later and said they filed a dispute and I failed to respond to it.. I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT CAUSE I DONT USE IT or check check emails regularly In the end they got their money back an my lights. and PayPal is billing me.. im srry but pay pal is not the best money transfer method out there. Yall do nothing for seller protection.
PayPal (Goods and Services) is what most people use.I have never sold anything on here but am trying so can you guys tell me what forms of payment are on to use?
Do sellers usually send an invoice? Is there any negative to doing this?PayPal (Goods and Services) is what most people use.
I think that's actually a great way to do it. I don't see any issue.Do sellers usually send an invoice? Is there any negative to doing this?
No. Our policy requires it to be a payment system that offers arbitration/protection for buyers (this does not apply to in-person transactions). The reason for this is that you should never send unprotected funds to anyone you do not know personally. There are too many scammers who try to take potential buyers' money without sending the promised merchandise (equipment, livestock, etc.). This policy protects our community.Can you use Zelle? It's bank to bank but not protected.
yall have any tips for the Facebook asking for a receipt from your supplier? I don't have a supplier and sometimes my receipt from when I bought it is over 6 months old. maybe we can only sell stuff that's under 6 months now. or move to Facebook groups for the selling portion.No. Our policy requires it to be a payment system that offers arbitration/protection for buyers (this does not apply to in-person transactions).

Are you telling us Paypal now requires a receipt showing we purchased what we are collecting money for? Where is this document?
I think perhaps you meant "PayPal" rather than "Facebook"?yall have any tips for the Facebook asking for a receipt from your supplier?
