I am not sure how good of advice this is. This is also why I never buy from you. Reputation means you are (more than likely) reliable, are advertising what you are selling, have an idea of what you are talking about and your pricing is reasonable. It does not protect against random acts of BS (e.g. item getting lost by carrier - something I have had happen to me when I have shipped stuff out). Plus when it comes to money, especially when someone is trying to make a profit, in my experience everything changes. I would never buy PP friends and family/Venmo/Zelle/Cash etc. unless you are local, I am picking up or you are delivering, and there is testing/inspection before exchange of goods for money or we are talking about what to me is fudge around money (i.e. under a $50). Of course others may be less risk averse or have much more resources so they don't blink an eye at losing a couple of grand so their calculations may be different. -Ali
