How do you charge shipping costs over a forum like this??

[Rocky998]

Yes sir.

Dang... Can't believe I guessed that right

That's really cool! Never would have known

 

[connorlindeman]

[Rocky998]

See mods?... I even do this to my own threads.

Shipping is ridiculously expensive you’d do much better on Craigslist or Band

 

[JuiceBox52]

You’re not really gonna be making much, if any, profit

Yah it is... I could TRY Craigslist but idk what the market for fish is like in my area... Maybe a few people but I don't know if there are any "serious" aquarists in my area...

Yah... Maybe, maybe not...
Don't know. With the shipping expenses it would be kinda ridiculous

So hopefully soon I will be shipping fish out but over a forum how do I have people pay? Should I just make an eBay listing or something like that??
All this is kinda confusing the first time around...

You can use Paypal, check or cash (delivered via mail) (make sure you have an honest person with this one, you don't want checks not arriving, bouncing, or cash not arriving), Zelle, or any other online payment method/group.

If you don't want to deal with shipping, try posting it on Reddit and note that you're selling locally.

You should never mail cash, check is fine but cash is a general no no

Yah, like @JuiceBox52 said it's not a good idea to ship money and I wouldn't want to do checks either... Just seems kinda easily complicated if that makes sense lol...

Ehhh... Reddit is kinda a freaky place idk...
I could try though...

If you dont want to do paypal, check, or cash you are kinda short on options.

Well paypal I may have to pay a ton for if they think I gave misinformation.
Checks and cash, people can say they sent it but then I send out the fish and I get nothing....

But I may be able to list on Craigslist or maybe Reddit. Still not sure about doing that lol.
And then there is always Ebay

 

[Rocky998]

There is just a lot that could go wrong, ya know?

 

[Fishmanic]

the buyer can send you a check and then you can deposit the check and wait a few days to be sure check clears. Once the check clears, then you ship the fish. No risk on your part.

I have always had payment show up. If you are concerned, wait for the payment to show up before you ship out.
