Paypal or Venmo?

Cash, cheque, paypal, venmo, etc.

It is yours to make whatever transactions you want with it...as long as it isn't above face!

You get paid by whomever you sell the ticket too. Ie cash or paypal etc.

CopperTom

PayPal or cash will be what I use.

MR242791

so transactions are done through paypay or venmo?  okay thanks.

I would use paypal so you are protected. Make the transaction for goods. Not sure there is much recourse on venmo since its person to person.

It is up to you and the buyer.  I would be sure you get paid before you transfer if it is someone you don't know.

so the buyer is taking all the risk.  i should receive the money first and then send the ticket correct?

Yes, receive the money first, and it's not a risk to the buyer as long as you are not using the friends and family/gift option on PayPal. If you're using the goods and services option, the buyer will be protected.

There's a PayPal fee though if you do it as a merchant transaction. I think it's 2.9% plus $0.30.

Yes, true. It is well worth it of course. I personally don't understand why anyone would not choose that method just because of that fee. That amount of money isn't worth the risk at all IMO.

I don't use PayPal for much except occasionally buying off Ebay. There, I know buyers and sellers are each protected in some way. If you receive money in a friend transaction, what's the risk to the receiver? Isn't risk all on the sender? If that's the case, then the sender should include the fee in the transaction to mitigate his/her risk.

Yes, it's all risk to the sender. It is up to the people making the deal who pays the fees, but normally, the person being protected is the one who should be paying the fee one way or another (those who invoice the senders will just add the amount to the bill). Some receivers will pay it just to sweeten whatever deal is being made, kind of like a bonus or a discount.

The risk to the receiver = fake ticket or nothing gets sent. Risk to the sender = the buyer makes a false claim about the ticket and tries to get their money back. By running it as a goods transaction both parties are covered to some extent.

Wouldn’t happen to be selling one for either Fenway shows by any chance?

Yeah, someone falsely claiming that a real ticket is fake after the transaction is completed is a possibility, although I don't think they'd get anywhere with that in the disputes process - I'd imagine that PayPal has gotten pretty good at weeding those out. But in any case, yeah, no matter what, both sides of the transaction are protected with the goods and services option.

Pay pal does not provide seller protection when the seller emails, or sends electronically, something of value to the buyer.



From their website:

"Protected transactions

We cover physical goods (not digital items or services) that are sold and shipped with proof of delivery from within the United States to buyers around the globe. To help ensure you’re protected, ship within 7 days to the address indicated in the transaction details, and provide an accurate delivery estimate."

I learned the hard way a few years back I sold some tickets to a show and just emailed the tickets to the eBay buyer and they said they never received them and pay pal took their side and said they don't cover items of value sent via email or otherwise sent electronically. You have to have proof of physical delivery of the physical item like a ticket.

PJ_Soul

Wow, good to know. I wasn't aware of that part.

@MR242791

Only accept cash in person!!!!!

Trust me there are tons of slime balls out there out to get these electronic tickets transferred to them and pay via pay pal and then say they never received it and then they get an automatic full refund from you through paypal.

whoyouare72

You could totally go to eBay right now and buy an electronic ticket that the seller transfers to you and then say you never got it after the show and you'll get a full refund from paypal and go to the show for free courtesy of some ebay ticket scalper douchebag.

PJ_Soul

Surely these platforms will change that rule eventually as so many things are continuing to go online??.... Maybe a third party could get involved. I.e. charge another 1% of sale to guarantee proof of legit electronic transaction. Dammit, I wish I were a software developer, I'd be pitching the idea to PayPal tomorrow, haha.

I sold some airline points on eBay a few years ago and after I transferred them the buyer filed a claim with eBay that they never received them.  After a lot of back and forth, eBay ultimately sided with me and I got to keep the money.  But I will never do anything like that again.  Too much of a hassle.  

The best part was that apparently the dude I sold them to later resold them to someone else and he got ripped off for the payment.  And then he had the nerve to email and ask me to try and track the miles through my Delta account so he could go after the scammer.  Karma

I may have a spare ticket for both nights that I would sell for face value or less even. But I'm beyond paranoid to do that because I wouldn't want to risk infraction within 10Club. Is it a thousand percent kosher to sell a transferrable ticket online? Just would never want to do anything 10C frowns upon.

Am I missing something here? I thought they did not cover electronic transactions for refunds. If so how could the buyer ask for their money back? 

whoyouare72

They do not cover electronic transactions for seller protection....the buyer has the advantage here.

You’re allowed to transfer (sell) one ticket for face value per 10c rules. That said, I’m looking for an extra Ga for night two. Is yours GA? Still selling if so?
