How to handle payment?

[rprosperi]

There are no 'rules' per se, other than members are expected to treat each other with respect and honesty. It may sound a bit old fashioned, but frankly I've not ever heard of anyone having problems with purchases made through listings in the Classified section.

The MoHPC is not involved in any direct way, the transaction is between the seller and the buyer.

What typically happens is after agreeing on terms (price, condition, shipping method and cost, etc.) the buyer pays the seller, typically via PayPal, but I've seen Venmo, Zelle, checks and for EU members, direct bank transfers used as well, then the seller ships the item(s), then providing the (strongly recommended) tracking number info to the buyer.

It's pretty straightforward, and as I said, I've not heard of trouble. The key to avoiding issues, IMHO, is to provide clear, detailed descriptions and/or photos, as the situation may need.

Good luck
