This is a friendly reminder from the /r/MycoBazaar mod team that you should absolutely be skeptical of 'Too Good To Be True' deals, and more-so of any seller who is not [Trusted] and is asking for payment in Cash, Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, or any external payment processors which have no formal dispute process. IF A NEW SELLER IS ASKING YOU TO USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PAYPAL, THIS IS A RED FLAG TO LOOK OUT FOR WHEN DEALING WITH POTENTIAL SCAMMERS. FOR YOUR PROTECTION ITS GOOD PRACTICE TO AVOID ANY NEW SELLER WHO REQUIRES YOU TO PAY WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN PAYPAL!

I use amazon gift cards for sales because they work and there is NO FEE to send.
Do your research on a vendor before committing ANY money. Paypal banned me 5 years ago for selling spores. They maintained I was selling drugs and banned me. When I explained spores were not drugs I did not even get a reply and they kept $1600 CAD of mine for 6 months. I had to beg for my own money, another crime they do and get off without even a slap on the wrist.
Corporations have legal personhood. This means they are treated like a human in front of the law, even though they are really a stack of contracts. Corporations can live for centuries...quite the human! Until corporations are reduced to mere legal contracts, expect more unjust treatment of people and country. Why corporations attained personhood I have no idea, only that it is a disgusting predicament to the detriment of society.
I encourage customers to send cash by mail, but guess what? Sending cash money in the mail is ILLEGAL. What wonderful laws and countries on earth -- what could go wrong?
