I really don't want to spell that out accurately but I'm assuming most here get the "word". Ok- now that I am starting to sell bigger items, people are wanting me to set up an account with p**pal. I'm talking about furniture- I post photos, I describe it and give the brand/manufacture, they look at it. Still, they say they will use this account instead of paying cash. Is that typical?
First of all, I'm thinking it's a "you get what you see" deal and what they see clearly backs up the photos and info I give them. If they can put money into pay pal, they can get cash to give me, right?
I don't want to connect my bank acct with any other type of account or these sales. But I don't want to be unreasonable either. I am wondering what you ladies think- keeping in mind, I need the cash and I need it quickly and not to use on the internet. And I have had the obvious scammers trying to get me to send them my bank acct number and SS# so they can wire me money then they will "send" someone to my house. No, I think they won't. LOL!
I should probably ad too, I'm not talking about thousands of dollars that a person would need to carry on them. They come and look at it, if they want it and they have clearly seen that I am for real and there is no threat in this neighborhood, they can come back and bring cash in a few hours or the next day, in my humble opinion. Is that unreasonable or does everyone use P**pal for things like this? (I do realize that I'm not the most up-to-date person. LOL!)
