thanks for the help. just to clear up a couple of things; the dead end statement is that when I have tried calling directly (in which case they say they are incapable of contacting a marketing person=dead end) or via the website (no response as it is targeted to making financing sales). As to whether it makes sense for Affirm to market themselves at an audio show; well, they are already targeting audiophiles on audiogon to provide financing for audio equipment purchases. I would think Affirm might want to have face to face with the thousands of audiophiles that attend the show. |
Here is a place to start: https://www.affirm.com/business#id If you get a response, maybe they can direct you to an appropriate person. The idea of a financial service firm exhibiting at an audio show seems odd to me, especially if it’s a show for consumer attendees, not an industry trade show. It would be like having a PayPal or Square exhibit booth. |
It's too bad that the emergence of these companies have made it nearly impossible for a seller to get paid with a check or a bank check. I recall giving and accepting them many times back in the day with no issues, and better yet, no fees! They're supposed to earn their keep by protecting us in the transaction, but many people, myself included have had problems with them. |
As a sometime seller, Affirm is unattractive as compared to PayPal Credit. A seller gets charged nothing extra if the buyer uses PayPal Credit. However, if the Seller selects Affirm as an option for buyers to use, the Seller will pay minimum 8% on top of any other fees due. So PayPal Credit = zero extra fees. Affirm = additional 8%. Therefore, I don’t use Affirm as a Seller. But I do use PayPal Credit as a buyer. |
