Misc Gunpost - long distance payments

I am curious what the standard expectation is when selling an item on GP to a buyer in another part of Canada. E-transfer is the default where a buyer is trusted, and I know that the GP rating/reputation mechanism provides some assurance - but I am curious if that is the normal expectation for a distance transaction or if some people use Paypal (and if so, if “goods and services” is the normal expectation or if folks use “friends and family”). Thanks

I always get them to take pictures with their PAL and id beside what your purchasing and a video of it if possible and a phone call.

Scammed are usually selling something that doesn't exsist and only have one or two photos they stole from somewhere else.

The biggest problem with gunpost is people don't leave reviews, its a lot harder to build trust in your account without them.

I have definitely left feedback on all my deals and asked them to do the same - precisely to make sure I have established my GP rep.
