Payment method for first time seller?

[zillymilly]

I've only ever used venmo with my family and friends, and I keep hearing bad things about paypal on both sides and possibly even getting your account suspended? (I know Paypal owns Venmo). I just recently uploaded my ID and made a Trustap account, waiting to get verified. Is Trustap the safest option, is MM still possible through that or is it not needed for Trustap? I'm not interested in setting up a paypal or using crypto.

edit: After reading a bit more on the infocenter and trade guardian pages, would it be possible to have a MM hold an account for the 3 days until I recieve payment from Trustap if I choose that as the preferred payment option?

The escrow option doesn't require a MM.

The buyer deposits the payment first.
The seller then transfers the account to the buyer.
Once the buyer confirms the account was received, the payment is released to the seller's account.
However there is a 72 hour wait period before the seller can withdraw the payment to their bank account.
In case something happens during these 72 hrs, the buyer can report a problem and we'll start an investigation. The payment will then be held until the investigation is completed.

You're basically trying to use the MM to bypass the 72 hrs wait period. If you attempt this you will be banned.

The system provides safety for both buyers and sellers and if you are trying to bypass these safety features we will assume you're selling stolen accounts and ban you.

If you want to use TrustAp it's the only way mentioned by Admin above, but you can also use a personal MM where MM will hold the account until you confirm that you received the payment.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you both for answering. Edit: sorry, forgot to close the thread.
