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.

Regarding phone calls, if I remember correctly, the potential buyers name and address and maybe phone number became available via the A'gon offer/sale process.  I always found a way to contact the buyer.  In fact, they were just as happy to discuss the transaction as I was.

I understand that everyone has to start somewhere to have feedback.  But in my "for sale" ads I spell out that I will not sell to someone without feedback.

I believe @lalitk meant to say use PayPal Goods and Services option only, not F&F.

For buyers with no feedback, wire or PayPal F&F options only.

You are absolutely correct; I was looking at it from the wrong angle.

PayPal F&F is the right way to go for the seller.
