I see references to using Zelle and other services.

I don't mind waiting for payment, such as waiting for a check to clear, but I don't want to ask buyers to wait, nor ask them to extend their trust to an unknown entity by sending checks/MOs without some sort of assurance/protection.

What is everyone using for electronic payment and how is it working?

Thank you,
Ed
I've don't use PayPal anymore for snake sales, I use venmo, cashapp or zelle. I look at it this way, if I don't trust the person with my money I shouldn't be buying animals from them.

I had a customer file a claim with PayPal to get a NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT back after they ghosted me and decided not to finish paying for the animal. Now, if they would have come to me and asked, I probably would've returned the money, they didn't though.
