i'll pass. none of those methods offer the buyer any protection.
Any method that does favors the buyer, so it's easy for the buyer to say "box was empty" and seller has no recourse. Been selling stuff for over 20 years online, and the only way I do it now is via Cash, USPS Money Order, or PayPal Friends and Family. If the fact that I joined this forum 12 years ago, and have 15,000 posts despite basically leaving 2 years ago when I went all EV, doesn't make you trust the transaction, then we should not do business.
no worries, we won't. we are neither friends nor family and i don't violate the terms of use for using payment methods for online transactions, which is what happens when using f&f as you mandate. it's a business transaction and if you don't want to pay the fees for using their service then simply don't use it.
