Back in "The Hobby"

[sghoz88]

Hello everyone!
I re-entered the hobby a few months after almost 10 years of leaving (back in 2013).

At that time, I was selling off my entire Kobe PC (for a fraction of what its worth now, RIP Mamba).

I am going to go back to the Kobe PC, but will be focusing on mid-high end cards once I build my collection more for trading pieces.

I used to be on this forum back in 2013, and all I remember is being able to use PayPal. Is it still the same? I tried reading the posts but they are a bit confusing. Is PayPal the only option? Or is Zelle/Venmo allowed?

Thanks in advance for any help!

My eBay is: ghozay
My IG is: sgsportscards

Welcome back. Paypal Goods & Services is expected. Venmo might count now if there is buyer protection. That someone else ill have to chime in for. Otherwise, as long as you dont ask for Paypal Friends & family, you should be good.

Rules:

1. Asking for paypal gift (paypal friends and family), western union, or cash is not allowed. This includes any and all payments where the buyer is not protected. We expect all transactions to be completed via paypal goods. If another payment provider comes along that protects the buyer like paypal goods, you may use them as long as you post that upfront in your listing.

Also, I would inform an admin know you had an account here back in the day and no longer have access to the email account it was associated to or just forgot your user name. It'll help when the crazies attempt to cancel you for disagreeing with them about something arbitrary. Enjoy!
