Quoted from galore2112:There’s no way I would show up at a stranger’s house or have a stranger show up at mine with $10k in cash.
That’s one reason why I don’t pinvest.
I live in a state where you would expect someone to be carrying a firearm on them if they carry large amounts of cash. I also wouldn’t expect someone to come to my home and try to pull something. I’ve had zero problems with large cash deals.
Quoted from StoneyCreek:As someone who is about 2 hours from my nearest bank branch, I have trouble with quickly getting cash for a purchase. One of my recent purchases for about $5K was in cash because the seller would not take Zelle or Paypal. I had to use an ATM multiple times/days to get all the $20 bills (250 of them if my math works). The seller complained bitterly about that too.
It's the sellers prerogative to demand cash.
Perhaps in another 10 years people will come to learn that Zelle is a bank-to-bank wire transfer and be OK with it. Until then cash is king, even in small bills.
There’s still a way to get scammed accepting Zelle. It involves unauthorized transactions. I’ve read about a couple Zelle scams.
I’ve done personal checks with a copy of the persons drivers license. Less than ideal, but every time they were older people and I had a good gut feeling. It’s worked out so far, but I do not prefer it.
Quoted from bdw85:When I bought my Stargate the seller insisted I use Paypal because he was afraid I'd slip him some counterfeit bills..... he didnt see a problem with this until after I paid and told him that you can in fact charge back funds via Paypal.
I’ve shipped a couple games with PayPal F&F.
I heavily researched the buyer first and considered it a form of gambling on my part. I’ve never done it on an over $2000 game though.
