I've used F&F with fellow Rokslider's before with great luck, but never for anyone with no reviews or a sketchy looking profile. Most folks here are honest.
Unfortunately, true. EDITED - it hasn't happened to me. But I've seen others post in another group to which I belong, including pictures and copies of IM exchanges. As a result of scams by both sellers and buyers, they sellers often video boxing up the items to be sold, and buyers video unboxing, to prove if something is off. I believe it enough that it got my attention.
Paypal has a goods and services option which requires the seller to input tracking information before funds are released. It comes with a small fee ~3%, but is a method of protecting the buyer.
That qualifies as mail fraud....
PayPal has buyer protection. I venmo things like Scout dues, athletic fees for my kids, people I know. Maybe (probably?) I'm ignorant about Venmo, Zelle features and fee structure though...
100%. Although I do know of one exception....
They are clever AF.
I agree that the relevance of the new 1099-K rule is IMHO overstated. The $600 rule has been extended a few times. (See below.) When and if someone does get a Form 1099-K, there will be no deductions for sales less than your basis, unless your selling is a trade or business. But if you do get a Form 1099-K, it won't be the end of the world. TurboTax.
The PayPal information is out of date. The $600 rule was extended again - but I suppose that doesn't mean that PP has to follow it. The Federal threshold for 2024 is $5k. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-an...d-of-5000-for-2024-to-phase-in-implementation. Interestingly, at least to me, there are some in Congress (I believe many of which are Republicans) who are upset with the IRS for extending the rule without the authority to do so.
I'm pretty sure there are ways other than the receipt to demonstrate basis, but I believe it's only needed if audited - not on the original return.
Yep. Probably not much concern for a scammer who is already stealing from someone.
Tracking doesn’t indicate what was in the package. I could mail you a box of dog shit instead of the gold bars I sold you. Tracking proves nothing.
Bro! You let the “poop replacement” trick out of the bag.
If the government audited me, they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to get money.
For $10 he'll leave good feedback. That's what that joke was....
It was a joke. No need to try to turn it political.
If she ships your packages - you are legit
