Only protected payment methods are allowed
Please only offer, request, or send payments via protected methods like PayPal Goods and Services. Head-Fi no longer requires that PayPal fees be included in the asking price, provided a protected payment method like PayPal Goods and Services is used.
Payment via unprotected methods like PayPal Friends and Family, Zelle, wire, money order, bank transfer, etc is strictly forbidden. Offering, requesting, or requiring unprotected payment methods may result in edited or removed listings and a suspension or ban from Head-Fi Classifieds.
Its very frustrating how non uniformly this rule is enforced. My last couple classifieds that I said I would take a lower price if paid for by PP F&F (a couple years ago now prior to ever being warned) were reported and I got a warning, yet multiple classifieds postings go unreported (to this very day, multiple times per day) without being reported. It would be nice if head-fi would more routinely and accurately enforce this classifieds rule across the board to all users rather than just if an individual post is reported by someone with a grudge against a different poster.
I now always include shipping and PP fees in my asking prices on Head-fi to conform to the rules. However, for sellers this is problematic as if they don't want to take a big hit to the amount they net out at, they have to bump their asking price, leading to much less interest overall. Pretty frustrating to be honest, and makes selling on canuckaudiomart and usaudiomart much more attractive, but there is much more specific headphone related interest here on HF.
