Quote HistoryQuoted: Venmo, cashapp, Bitcoin. I will not go to a Post Office and stand in line, not to mention disarm myself. Why would you disarm yourself? Concealed is Concealed  Also, are you really that paranoid that if you feel so compelled to leave you firearm in the vehicle you’re going to regret it in the 5-15min you’ll be away from it?

Quote HistoryQuoted: I still pay most of my bills by writing and mailing checks. Not a Boomer though! Gen-X master generation. Helps me keep a better handle on the $ than just electronic. I find it somewhat relaxing to sit and write checks, stamp envelopes, balance checking account. I'm weird though.   Being a boomer isn't restricted to the baby boomer generation, it's a mindset. You can definitely be a boomer and under 55. If I was to give you a quick diagnosis, I would say you seem to show symptoms of being a boomer. Enjoying checks, stamps, mailing envelopes and not understanding boomer are all very common symptoms. I'm sure others here can perform there own diagnosis if you need a 2nd and 3rd opinion.

Electronic bank payments in the US are shocking compared to other places. In most of Europe you can put money into someone else's account for free. Instant in lots of places, usually 24hrs if not.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Venmo, Zelle, Chase pay, many other methods other than PP or those dinosaurs checks. Venmo is equally as bad as PayPal seeing as how they’re owned and operated by PayPal. They’ll ban you just as quick and if you happened to get banned from paypal then then your account on Venmo will probably follow soon after. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah you're an idiot if you're using PayPal to buy stuff off the EE, I've seen this over and over. Too many scammers around for electronic payment anyway. Over 100 feedback, 90% PP. I just put HUGE, EMPHATIC instructions to not put any notes whatsoever. Been lucky so far I guess. Still, fuck PP anyway really. But ya know what, just about every payment system is anti-gun, at least as far as I know. |

Usps money order in big 2 day envelope with tracking number. Dude getting usps money order can go in post office and get what cash they have and get rest in a new money order. Deposit new one in bank. I forget what money order company it was but had a buyer pissed I would not ship soon as I had it. I told him to read the fine print and get back to me. His money order would need x days to clear. Just like personal checks tend to take a few days to officially clear. Have had Bank certified checks where you go in branch of bank and they don't want to deal with you if you do not have account there.
Paypal was fine here til it became common for people to fuck each other. Buyer has no power if sent as friend and family. Use it as business but can't be gun stuff and have a problem and good luck. Venmo is paypal they say. Even cash can be counterfeit. Don't wanna do a deal then don't do it. Don't like their payment methods oh well. You make a strong and secure way for conservatives to transfer money and see if your business takes off. As far as feedback. I usually double or triple it. I like the new click a button to leave feedback but seller never returned the favor. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This really reminds me of the threads that say EE prices are crazy I'm not paying that. Don't like the terms or price move along. It can be useful to get an idea of what terms people don't like, especially for sellers. "Is my item not selling because the price is too high? Maybe, but based on the threads I've been seeing, I should add several pictures and take forms of payment other than USPS MOs." |

A few years ago I had a guy on armslist try and scam me with a fake money order. I told him to send me a USPS money order, instead I got one from somewhere else, maybe kroger. I deposited it in the bank and waited for it to clear. The bank said it was fraudulent. I never got any money. But, guy never got his rifle he was trying to get. Sold the rifle locally to a collector.

I have yet to have someone not cash my check or say word one.  ..... you've never tried that on me....lol. I've had that pulled on me on GunBroker and made him wait 12 days from the day I made the deposit. I will tell you that it is clearly stated in my auction "Do NOT send anything other then USPS MO. Sending a bank cashier's check or any other kind of MO other then a USPS MO will result in a 12 day wait". GB auctions are a hassle to cancel, and so we will both continue on with the deal. I have made classified ad buyers wait and they expected it because I laid out those rules beforehand. However, I've let established buyers with good feedback forego the wait, but that was my call and it was usually a cheap purchase of a none FFL item.See AKguy1985 2 posts above WHY! |

Not arming the left and too many POS scammers to go any route that some company can decide to pull my money from me if the buyer decides to keep my money and my shit. If you have to ask why, then fuck you too. This post felt good. Thanks OP. |

Agreed The only downside is waiting in line at the PO It would be nice if you could get them from the self-service kiosks in the lobby. Or find a different post office to patronize. The main Post office in my county often has lines. Luckily there are five or six small village post offices within thirty minutes of my house. A line in any of them amounts to one person ahead of me. And the village POs need the additional foot traffic to ensure their survival in the next round of PO cuts, where the main PO doesn't have that problem |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For the most part I don't care how you pay, but if you send a personal check don't be in a hurry to get your stuff. Guy offered to send me $1750 via PayPal for some engine parts. Aside from PayPal taking $50+ off the top, I am fearful of PayPal possibly doing a 1099 on payments, so I try to limit PayPal payments. And; it's a pain to get money OUT of a PayPal account. Sure, you can have them transfer it to your bank account but that's more "paper trail". I asked the guy for a check, which he thought was a hassle but he offered to get a bank check. I told him to snail mail a personal check, as banks treat ALL checks the same and hold them for clearance. USPS money orders are a pain to cash, as the bank has to call for an approval number before cashing. All in all; Ive found that an old-fashioned personal check is actually the least hassle. I keep enough in my bank accounts that the local bank people will cash checks without question. My only beef with banks is their archaic check clearing process. There is no reason why, in this electronic age, that it takes 3-5 days for a check to clear |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How else do you send cash long distance without a huge fee? iTunes gift cards? Walmart Money. Walmart has an awesome (IMO) money transfer system with VERY REASONABLE fees that make Western Union look like pirates. And much more convenient than banks and post offices; one can go to any Walmart to send or receive the money. I sent a guy in OH $1700 to buy a truck. Took a bit of convincing but, in the end, he he was amazed that he was able to walk into his local Walmart and walk out with the cash. |
