Quoted from Broohaha:I've read Vid's excellent post on how to NOT get scammed, which primarily is focused on private seller.
However, I am looking at buying a NIB stern machine and I'm finding some distributors will discount slightly for non-credit card transactions. PayPal Friends/Family is appealing due to speed, but there's certainly some risk here.
I'm not going to mention names here, but they are authorized stern distributors.
Anyone does this type of transaction with a 'quality' distributor? Or any thoughts in general?
Before I answer....
How much are you saving to pay Friends and Family?
They charge a fee for that style transaction.
Plus, you lose the backing like a credit card.
