p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Alert: Uninsured payments and tips for safe transactions | |
It's important to avoid using uninsured payment methods like Paypal Family & Friends, Venmo, Zelle or any other uninsured payment method when conducting transactions online. Although these methods may help you avoid paying taxes or fees, they do not provide any insurance if something goes wrong. Financial institutions put these fees in place for a reason, and they should be considered as a form of insurance.
At Fredmiranda.com, we do not guarantee transactions, and it is the responsibility of buyers and sellers to protect themselves. We provide a platform for members to post their items, but ultimately the payment method used is a decision made between the two parties involved.
To ensure safe transactions, we recommend that members only use insured credit cards or regular Paypal. We advise against using payment methods like bank transfer, money order, money owed payment, Paypal Gift (Family and Friends), Venmo, Zelle, or any other uninsured payment method. We also caution members to be aware of transactions initiated from Want to Buy (WTB) threads and to check references before making any purchases.
It's important to never participate in transactions sent by email outside of the FM Private message system. Scammers may impersonate sellers and send emails to members who have expressed interest in a particular item. We do our best to maintain a safe environment on our site, but ultimately it is up to each member to protect themselves when buying gear online. Links to our Rules and Guidelines and Uninsured Payment Alert can always be found at the top of our Buy and Sell boards.
