PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?

I think most sellers now realize they are not going to have a taxable profit.

The F&F listings at market price don't seem to sell.

It seems like buyers demand around a 20% discount to take on the added risk of F&F.

I'm really just curious to hear what buyers & sellers think of this practice.

And I do not buy from sellers with 0 feedback. I never had a problem. If I do not trust the sellers I either request to use PayPal G&S or don’t buy from them. I have bought and sold a ton on AG and USAM using F&F without issues.
