Hi all,

I'm going to sell 2 Qantas lounge passes and looking on the deals that were posted in classifieds before I'm wondering how people ensure that they are paid when they send the passes using registered post. I understand that the best way is just to meet the buyer and exchange the passes for cash, but posting them would significantly increase potential buyer population.

Thank you!

      Is there a $ limit for friends and family payments? Can they send me $1500 for a laptop using it?

      PayPal friends & family I think can be reversed if the buyer does a credit card chargeback (not via PayPal). I recall a post about a Gumtree seller being scammed on OzBargain (one of the many! LOL).

      Gumtree is for cash in hand or cleared bank transfers only.

      Pinky promise. Effing guaranteed.

      I hear a gentlemans spit in the hand then handshake freaking seals the deal also.

    Don't post until funds clear in your account? It's riskier for buyers than sellers.

    Just wait for the funds to clear or do cash on delivery via aus post

    I honestly thought everyone just used commbank which clears instantly…

    Thank you all.

    So basically cleared bank deposit or cash in hand.

      Yes

      Or deal with trusted people only (I've never had an issue selling)
