For those who'd use PayPal or Venmo etc.

He said he'd likely go back to swap meets and cash sales dealing in person to move his parts. I know he buys a lot off Amazon and told him to consider taking payment via Amazon credit. I said you could always sell an item to someone and get them to transfer you a gift card or an emailed credit on Amazon etc. He's like hey wait a minute...that could work?

Anyone ever sent someone a gift card or emailed one through Amazon or something similar?

We have bought gift cards on Amazon and emailed the confirmation number to family members as gifts that they can use to purchase what they want.

I would think sellers on Amazon are going to fall under this scrutiny too and have to divulge who made the payment. Our wonderful gubment is trying to get tthis enacted to include ALL person bank accounts with over $600 in them...
