Audiogon seller's question

It has been a long time since I've sold something on Agon. I still buy quite often here, but usually sell on US Audiomart. That said, I have recently listed a relatively expensive pair of speakers and just received an offer through Agon. The buyer just joined and of course has no feedback. So it will for sure have to be Paypal, but no F&F. What is Audiogons role in protecting either the seller or the buyer these days? I would like to have a phone conversation for such a transaction, but I know that's not going to be allowed.

I believe @lalitk meant to say use PayPal Goods and Services option only, not F&F.

For buyers with no feedback, wire or PayPal F&F options only.

Just have a friendly talk on the phone. Buyers are not usually scammers as they want cash, not the opposite. I hope it goes well.

I meant F&F option only since goods and services option have fees ranging from 2.89% to 3.49% and categorized as ‘commercial’ transaction. Plus this option offers full protection to the buyers.

“If an eligible item that you’ve bought online doesn’t arrive, or doesn’t match the seller’s description, PayPal’s Buyer Protection may reimburse you for the full amount of the item plus shipping”

PayPal F&F option is as good as cash!

You are absolutely correct; I was looking at it from the wrong angle.

PayPal F&F is the right way to go for the seller.

Just to help a bit here: some people in this thread are confusing seller protection and buyer protection.
