EMT is it safe?

I can almost guarantee it's a scam. The money will be transferred to your bank and the next day/hour it will be chargedback. Another common scam is they send a bit too much money and ask that you just send them the difference along with the product, and then they chargeback. 

 

I personally only sell things for cash locally, and if someone wants to buy it that would require shipping, then they have to have something that makes me trust them >10k posts on LTT for example, or are willing to use MoneyPak (which is something that can't be revoked), or a gift card that I can activate before shipping the item.

I only use PayPal When I sell stuff that need to be shipped, just so I can get my money back if anything goes wrong 

 

I don’t think your protected via EMT

 

 

If you want to argue with me, and you probably will please PM me, no need to ruin threads becase you dont like how I am.

 

Ask me how I made 100k selling illegal narcotics!

Spoiler

and you think im joking, Did a lot of wrong to get my money right.

I look up to Larry Hoover.

As a seller (unless you're a big seller) you aren't particularly well protected with PP either. They generally side with the buyer.

Rarely had an issue, People tired to scam me 30+ times and only once I lost the case because he replaced the item with a broken one (im a reseller) and said I shipped it like that.

 

but now I record the whole process with zero cuts from testing the item to packing to shipment. 

 

And now no matter what they can’t scam me.

 

 

you just have to know what your doing and you’ll be fine

If you want to argue with me, and you probably will please PM me, no need to ruin threads becase you dont like how I am.

How many sales have you had though? If you make a lot of sales then you're fine (unless you're incompetent), but as an individual who only sells things occasionally you just don't stand a chance (unless the buyer is completely incompetent).

I gross 8-10k a month 

 

but even when I first started I didn’t have issues. Yes it took time to resolve but they sided with me except once

Did you start as an actual shop though or as an individual? As an individual seller without a long and good history, the only way to really manage to win as the seller is if the buyer has the intelligence of a squirrel.

Individual that no one knew and I still am, I don’t do anything different then what I started other then a good 2 days a week packing items now.

 

when I first started I sold a few times a week like 3-4 

 

ebay I never had problems selling but when I sell off other sites like here or Reddit. The one case I lost i sold to a guy off reddit 

If you want to argue with me, and you probably will please PM me, no need to ruin threads becase you dont like how I am.
