    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.

    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.
