I've used PayPal in the past and never had issues with them but, are there better option out there to use. ? Such as Zelle and or Venmo ?
The reason I ask is that I've got an old expensive Charlie Daniels Violin up for sale and someone from out of the country has asked me to use Venmo, another asked if I would take Zelle as forms of payment(s)... I just hate to get burned $1000 and or have Paypall freeze payments etc..
Just curious if anyone has used these other payment companies before..?? Any advice ?
Zelle really screwed me up. Venmo I am using often even for large amounts. You have to request the funds transferred to your bank acct once you see it has arrived at venmo. Fees are not bad. More and more people are requesting to use venmo. Also consider getting a Stripe acct, people can use any credit card to pay you. The first transaction via stripe take a while to clear, but after that you are credited within 2-3 days. I would say my sales have increased by 15% since adding Stripe pymt method for my clients instead of just paypal. The venmo is an offer for those who ask.
I'll look into this thank you
I have a friend who uses Venmo all the time for her small business with no issues.
ty for the reply..
Be careful of scammers.
right, I'm always careful, i was just curious if anyone has used Zelle or Venmo in the past..
I've used Zelle a handful of times because it's a free option tied to my bank account. Never had any issues with it so far.
Agreed. Zelle is safe.
