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?

There are two options when selling: pay Audiogon up front or pay a percentage based on the amount of the sale (they charge your card after the sale).

Also, providing Audiogon with a CC on file cuts down on the amount of scammers trying to register. Some scammers will not sign up if CC is required.

Ha, that's funny.
You have to decide which is the best deal. When selling a high priced item, it's probably better to pay a $50 or $100 flat fee rather than be billed hundreds based on percentage after the sale.
