Hi there, is Cash App where it’s at now? I read on their site u need to give them your debit card number. I don’t like that idea. But I suppose I could creat a new account with a debit card for it only. Venmo or any viable others ? Thanks. Kim
Depends on what you're doing. Venmo and Cash app are great for paying people you know. Using them to buy parts from someone is a terrible idea unless you're in person and already know you're getting what you want. There's no buyer protections at all, so for example, if you send someone cash via Venmo and they don't ship your parts you're just SOL. It's almost as bad as sending a gift card, and there are lots of scams where scammers will ask for payment via Venmo or Cash app and then disappear with your money. There's pretty much zero recourse.
PayPal is probably the safest way to pay for stuff online, as long as you don't use "friends and family" for transactions where stuff is changing hands.
