Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.


In the past 12 years, Audiogon was a great resource for buying used Mcintosh Amps. Recently, it became the hub for scammers listing all kind of Mcintosh gears. I got scammed myself but Paypal and my bank caught it. Audiogon answer was be careful with some of our sellers( what a laughable comment). For now, I will not list or buy till Audiogon find a way to verify the new sellers. Too bad 👎…,,

Does PayPal offer buyer’s protection as Ebay does? I do not quite understand people saying "just use PayPal". Once you paid to the seller who is a scammer, can you make a claim to PayPal and PayPal pay back to you? I think the buyer’s protection plan is one of the reasons why Ebay charges high fee and recoup the money from sellers.  I would rather buy from Ebay with a piece of mind.
