OK you seem like you know of it. So there's this guy who says he's willing to sell me black toes for retail. He wants to use venmo. Says he can't use PayPal. How does it work? Are there invoices and some kind of protection? Or is it basically like gifting money? I been trying to research it because I never heard of it until now.

It's legit and I use it all the time between really good friends for small tabs. It's like gifting someone money so i wouldn't do it. Unless theres something idk know about, you're not protected.

I personally wouldn't use it. Venmo is an app you should use with friends or people you know to send them money. Like when your friend pays for lunch but you send them money to split the bill. I think venmo is easier to scam with. Since it doesn't release funds immediately if I am correct. Sort of like a check. PayPal invoice or bust for me.

You are not protected because it's not for sale of goods. The only way you can protect yourself is if you get a chargeback via cc company. He would be out of shoes and money if he did ship, but I wouldn't want to waste my time doing that in the off chance he doesn't ship.

The money transfer on Venmo is instantaneous actually. My friends and I just started using it. The moment you get the money in your Venmo account, you can withdraw to your bank. It does take 3-5 days for the money to hit your bank though.

Don't do it. There's no protection at all, it's like gifting money!

Ok thank for the information everyone. I don't think Imma pull through with it than. Idk the guy, he is on reddit. Definitely not trying to get scammed. But if anyone wants to oop me black toes for a sz 12 retail flat I'd gladly love to strike a deal. Gotta a sz 13 worn SBB that can be yours.

Just because it's instantly in your account doesn't mean they can chargeback. I can't find the articles but there is a way for people sending to get there money back. So be careful.

This is terrible advice. I know someone first hand who got scammed of $2k the day after the sale. Sold a pair of shoes and as the money was 'transferring', the buyer pulled a chargeback and venmo no longer had the funds to send to the seller.
Take this for what it's worth.

How am I giving advice? The dude asked how Venmo works and I told him...never did I state an opinion or offer a suggestion

Were the RSBB more limited than the SBB? I didnt think they had restocked or released in GS. Can anyone shed some light on this?
