Hello,
I have a couple things I'm trying to sell, and I was wondering if it is safer through ebay or FSFT forums? I have bought many many things over the years from both ebay/forums, but never sold anything. I would hate to get screwed over by a troll. There is no protection if I sold to some individual through the forums & they were to screw me over, right? Is ebay any better? Maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid, but I do want to consider the pros/cons of both..
As a buyer, I know there are avenues to report somebody/open a dispute with ebay, but I don't know how different it is as a seller. I have heard that it is not like the old internet days when buyers used to get screwed easily. Now buyers often get the benefit of the doubt with the newer policies ebay/paypal/etc have in place even if the seller was not in the wrong from the very beginning. I don't know how much of it is true, but I just want to be safe. Feel free to let me know if I'm just overthinking things!
Thanks! =]
