The Music Room

Looks like payments via Zelle require a lot of trust because there's no buyer recourse if things go sideways. Probably not much recourse for the seller either. And Stripe declares you're a business (which I'm not). Maybe I'll dig through my records and find receipts to the items I want to sell. That way if IRS wants me to itemize, I can show I either incurred a loss, or the profit was quite small. If I can't find a receipt then I'll see what TMR will offer.

I trust TMR. But the prices they offered me for the gear I wanted to sell was SO far below what I could make privately, that I have gone the private route so far. FWIW.

Re the IRS, PayPal and/or selling your gear - remember - you will only have to pax tax if there is a gain on the sale which is now another reason to have kept your receipts for purchase.

Since most gear is sold at a loss fm when we purchased, it's really no big deal and you can always argue that you bought new at retail if you don't have the receipts 

I have found TMR to be very reasonable, trustworthy, easy, and helpful to deal with.

I like TMR and have purchased new gear from them but the prices they give you for your gear seem really low. I will sell privately first, and they would be a last resort for me.
