Selling Pipes - Getting Paid

[recluse]

I have a number of pipes and tobacco I plan to sell here on the forums. What is the most popular/reliable method of getting paid? PayPal? Venmo? Something else? In other words, what do you all like to use the most and why?

Apologies if I missed a thread on this; I did do a site: search on Google but didn't find the thread(s) I was looking for. Thanks.

I've always used PayPal. There's are lots of choices these days.

+1. PayPal is pretty straight forward though nothing is foolproof.

I've never sold any of the pipes I've gotten rid of, but I've used PayPal to shop online with no issue.

Take money orders or paypal - a lot of people here don't have venmo or other platforms - I'm interested in seeing what you've got friend -

PayPal Friends and Family has worked for me selling tobacco on this forum. If you allow the buyer to use goods and services, there is a PayPal fee (not sure of the exact % theses days) and for your own protection ship the package with signature confirmation. In the event of a dispute, signature confirmation helps a lot, or so I am told by @pipestud

That caveat aside, no buyer here has ever caused any problem for me.

I use and prefer PayPal.

I don’t mind paying with Venmo but I took a payment once through them ($35) and now I can’t get the money out of there. It won’t let me log in with their system to confirm my bank and it won’t let me use the balance to send to anyone else. So I essentially have $35 locked in Venmo.

Get a lot of repeat customers, do you?

I use PayPal on my own sales and on BROBS sales. I hack the PM server and have his Paypal link to mine. That way the person buying gets their pipe or tobacco and I get BROB's money. Everyone wins!

But you still can’t get my $35 from venmo

Paypal but don't mention 'tobacco'. A member recently said here that they were clamping down on 'tobacco-related' transactions and refusing them.

Himalayan salt sent by freight

It does lack plastic unlike sea salt.

But funny you mention it, this restaurant I use to go to, on their website they stated they only use Himalayan sea salt and accept bitcoin.

I’ll be no longer using paypal. But, Venmo is an option.

Venmo is owned by PayPal.

Paypal is what I have used for years.
