I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history.....


.......what the heck ? I am not putting my personal account information on this site  ...bad enough they take a % of what you sell YOUR equipment for ........but now also telling me how I have to pay for it and how the buyer has to pay for ......well. .I get it that is some cases it is safer....but I have done a lot of sales just by a personal check. I just want to post a cheap $4.00 add.......unbelievable.  Pay-Pal what a rip off that is !

Thanks John ..... and I have been looking into US Audiomart. I am still furious over Audiogon charging / taking a % of what YOU sold your equipment for. I will look into and thanks.    
......Ozzy and John ......thanks I am looking at US AudioMart as a possible alternative. I too feel a level of comfort here on Audiogon  but it is just getting more and more expensive just to sell anything here    
Hello Scott_W .......I do not understand your response. What that an attempt at humor and not being able to add any comments of any substance ? Thought so.....Also, Mr.therobert ...with two posts ......you both missed my what I was saying. I was trying to sell something here and it once again has changed ...and after 16 years on this site......I kind of have a good on idea on how and what to sell here so thank you for your assistance but I was just surprised to see I had to enter my life's financial story....just to post a quick add. I also can swing $4 ......Dude ?       
Nonoise - that's exactly what  was getting at. I was not complaining
about the $4.00 add as some have for whatever reason interpreted
my thread as......but then you throw in 2% on an expensive piece and shipping is always tough.......most of what you wanted to sell you gear at is now been cut into. I am just careful of putting my financial information on another site .......I just want to post an add for something small for $4.00 ...and be done with it  
 
Thanks nonoise and good luck on your sale  .....I have been a member here for 16 years and I can say ; I remember  the good ol' days of Audiogon. I realize that things change at such an incredible
speed anymore .....  it has now tuned onto how low will the buyer go and can I sell it for a profitable as opposed a site for audiophiles who want to trade up and try new equipment. Or the thread trolls who offer nothing to a legitimate question you have asked.
