Hi all. Is there a typical way in which payments are handled at Gear Swap? I have an item to sell and am just curious as to how that is handled. Paypal?, 3rd Party?, Honor system?

Thank You

Paypal. People usually either say, paypal gift or pay the fees, when selling something here.

Paypal mostly, and shipping should be included in the price or otherwise made clear.

Some sellers ask for Paypal "gift" to avoid the fee (2.9%+$0.30). As a buyer, I just tack on the Paypal fees in such cases, as that enables the buyer protection. (If you search you will find threads discussing this.)
