Buying and Selling; shipping items and Escrow.com
@inagroove LOL, again more misinformation from someone with a paucity of feedback on this site. And a failure to address the misinformation called out in the first post. Do you even read what you are posting? Neither of us wants to shift risk to t... 
Buying and Selling; shipping items and Escrow.com
I can only speak from personal experience, but I only accept personal check or money order for my sales. Commonly folks ask to pay me via PayPal and I only accept F&F in that instance. It has not hurt my sales at all, in fact, I only have one ... 
Buying and Selling; shipping items and Escrow.com
Many sellers are currently trying to limit their liability. The migration to PayPal friends and family from goods and services is a good example. I would think that very few sellers would agree to an escrow service and that would limit the pool of... 
Taxes
And no if you live in Oregon, Montana, New Hampshire, Deleware or Alaska.

Yes, if you purchase from a dealer, no if you purchase from a private party.  
Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages
Wind down little man. I was here before you, and will be here when you are dust. It was just tonge in cheek, simple as that.

It's due to the digital step.  
Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages
Is there a new Audiogon? I still have disdain for the old Audiogon.

Does old-fashioned necessarily mean out of date?
It does on my case. I am both old fashioned and out of date.  
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
Krellpuppy, making false statements, to bolster your dubious credibility, and then doubling down on them, is in keeping with the current climate; you must feel right at home, LOL. That’s what I got out of your little temper tantrum.  
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
I sincerely doubt that you have been buying and selling here for 35 years. Audiogon was not in existence in the 1980s and started in 1996.    
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
I base my statement on US Audiomart, where I moderated the forums, and this may not be representative of the broader market at all, and certainly does not take into account Craigslist and the like, but currently there are 11,000 active listings on... 
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
Not my experience either. With fewer folks buying new gear, there is less used gear on the market. The power has shifted from the buyers to the sellers, and the sellers are simply trying to indemnify themselves against fraud. If F&F makes any...
