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 just sold a vintage receiver to a guy via PayPal f and f. He wanted me to send it to a different address, which gave me pause. He sent the money and I called PayPal to see if he pulled a fast one on me by claiming he didn’t get the product, would he have recourse? They replied that since it’s friends and family, he has no recourse. It’s as good as cash. He was trusting me that I would send him his product. I sent it and he got it 2 days later. Turns out he didn’t want his wife to know so he sent it to his friends house. lol. I told him he should’ve told me that in the beginning. I would definitely understand. 

Many people don’t like these new censorship rules 

if you paid for the % and ad that should be your private space imo

why no email or tel 

both can be enigma coded to use !

Ozzy62 now the new Biden laws all transactions you have to pay tax on ,PayPal  issues IRS statements ,which are a ripoff you pay taxes when it’s new ,

now used more taxes , not good.

@audioman58 you only owe tax in the event you are profitable on the transaction. Its kindof of been the law for a long time. Long before the past several presidents.
