Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time


I’ve read over all material I could find and looked up forums on the matter etc, but thought I’d also ask here just to get more info and clarification. Is PayPal required? I honestly have never used PayPal when I sell my expensive stuff every 4-5 years for upgrades.....but all I could find is yes it’s mandatory....which is awful as absolutely 0 seller protection and buyers use it as a rental service. 2nd how long does an ad last since were paying to place it on site I would assume a few months, but idk. Lastly, is worth selling something on audiogon if it’s only 2200$ or so or would u only sell the higher priced items here bc of the audio community? Sorry for all the questions but I wanted to acquire more info and clarification on all these matters before I place an ad, I’ve had absolutely 0 luck elsewhere which is strange as b&w d3 series maintains its value...which is why I’m looking at audiogon as my last alternative.

thsnks and I hope I can get the info I need, will be placing an ad on audiogon most likely tomorrow once i get some more info.

I have had hundreds of paypal transactions and never an issue.  No worries. Just sell to folks with good feedback. 
I had a good experience when selling my ProJect S2 DAC and Carbon Audioquest COAX cable.  However, these were both only 3 weeks old and I had to sell them for half price.  I learned a good lesson.  If you audition something to add to your system that does not sound noticeably better trust your gut and don't buy it.  In this case, I found my new Bluesound Node 2i to sound better by itself when streaming Tidal.  For some reason I liked the complete unfold of MQA.  By connecting an external DAC by Coax, I was only able to hear 1/10 the unfold of MQA.  Can't understand why no one else in this group can hear it?  I think people do not understand how great the DAC is inside a Bluesound.  They think if you spend more it is automatically better.
I had an unexpected surprise when I bought a piece of used stereo equipment with PayPal a few months ago: *after* I got through accepting all the conditions and was committed to the purchase, they added sales tax. I could see no way to go back and cancel, nor any way to have them remove the sales tax. It shouldn't have been taxed; I was buying a Bryston DAC and there are no Bryston dealers in my state. (Amazon seems to know when to charge sales tax and when not to.) I'm not even sure who got that $75 I paid; did they really send it to my state?

Has anyone else had that experience? Did I make a mistake along the way? In any case, I wasn't too pleased with PayPal about that.
