Soliciting opinions on the necessity of credit card info when only selling

I'm a new member and Audiogon was suggested by a highly respected source as the best site for buying/selling high end audio equipment but, being somewhat apprehensive about the necessity of providing credit card information when my only intent is selling as there are just too many scam artists out there.  Opinion, thanx?

Never an issue selling with a CC on file. Getting paid is a different thing. Agon wants a payment option for fees, either upfront or post sale, but either way there is a listing fee when listing that has to be paid upfront. Having said that, I’m pretty sure you can use PayPal for fees as well, but don’t quote me.

It’s not that confusing. Pay in full, flat listing fee AND posted value fee. Or, pay listing fee up front and pay the selling fee after... both are listed clearly to choose. The down side of the former is you only get the listing for 30 days. So, if you exceed that, you have to relist at the same fee. If you choose the latter route, your listing stays up, but your fees can be significantly higher. It pays IMO, to price right upfront for the quick sale.
