PayPal Goods & Services and Facebook Pay have saved me from scammers a couple times. It takes a couple weeks but I’ve always gotten my money back. I’ve always stayed away from sellers who only take other payments because there is no buyer protection.
Well, I recently went to buy a Max5 ESC off Facebook Marketplace and the guy would only take Venmo. I also remembered reading that Venmo recently added purchase protection. So I figured I’d give it a shot.
I paid and then the seller disappeared. No tracking info and no product. Blocked me on Facebook. Gotta love people sometimes.
I filed a dispute with Venmo and had my money back in two weeks. No back and forth. It was easy and now I feel way better about using Venmo.
I figured I’d share my experience in case anyone else is curious or hesitant.
