Question
Now this is a serious question..... I like to think of myself as an ethical person and not trying to cheat or beat any system.... I always felt as though the extra you paid for Goods and Services on PayPal was like insurance for extra protection.... if you feel like you dont need it, you can pay via F/F and now you have no insurance. Kind of like when you decline the car insurance at the airport rental car booth. If Im wrong I need to reconsider using the F/F with deals..... please help me get to the truth ( and please try and not tell me Im a bad guy cause Im not!) .... thanks in advance for your diplomatic and honest answers!!! Rocky PS Im almost sure that PayPal makes money on F/F transactions somehow..... what do you think??

There is always much hand wringing in these threads about using F&F, but I have yet to encounter a single seller on here who wants to use G&S at their listed price in my many buys. I find this amusing.

For the most part if I use F & F it is card friends I have done deals with before. Plus I have found most of the people that say they will pay the fees to use G & S are full of it and don't. Then it isn't worth the hassle to decline their payment and ask for the correct amount for a few bucks. |

I've had good luck with the BST. Never been scammed although it's easy to understand why people are reluctant to send large amounts of cash or cards to someone they don't know.
That said, as others have stated, there are several red flags when it comes to the BST. Low post members and new members are the biggest considerations. The original poster only has 6 posts and two of those posts are in this thread. That doesn't mean they deserved to get screwed, but if the OP was selling something, I wouldn't be buying. If I were to sell to the OP, it'd be payment up front for sure. I hope what occurred to you is a misunderstanding and that the person is just away from their computer for a while. If you want to do this community a favor, out the person that screwed you. If you find it was a misunderstanding, you're going to be eating a lot of crow.

I'm guessing we'll be using Zelle for most BST purchases by next year. Or something other than PayPal anyway.

PayPal banned
A friend of mine was banned from excepting PayPal F/F for a baseball card payment--A $10,000 F/F payment was a red flag and caught their attention.
