Payment method required to send messages???

That goes for any entity that takes credit card information.

To best of my knowledge no business that I deal with has my credit card number on file. None... In fact on rare occasions I have had a business ask me if I would like to have my credit card number put in their files so I wouldn’t have to produce my card number for a transaction each time. I give a resounding NO. I do not want my card number on file...

I think it might be a good idea for anyone considering giving your credit card number to Audiogon to first call their credit card company and ask them what they think about it...

The roll out of this new policy of Audiogon’s was poorly implemented, IMO.

Just a credit card name? Or the name of the credit and number complete with the security code on the back side of the card?

I buy a lot on Ebay and they do not have my credit card number on file.

This from my A’Gon Account page:

PayPal

 

Connect to send and receive payments via PayPal

 

There is a rectangle box to click on to use PayPal as a payment method.

I would not have a problem with that. All that would be on file is my PayPal email address for transactions. Worthless to a hacker that would get my info.

I am more protective of PayPal since they have access to both a credit card and a bank account, which is why I have an auxiliary account just used for PayPal.

The roll out of this new policy of Audiogon’s was poorly implemented, IMO.

I do not disagree. Many of us have been here a long time and a proper communication would have been respectful and appreciated.

Restarted my computer and had to perform 2FA just to log in.

With all the credit fraud going on becareful. 

Thanks for the info in this thread about having to input a credit card to ask a seller a question.  Seems a bit much.
