osa Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Someone asked me recently if i would use zelle as payment for gear i am selling. Paypal is all i know. Anyone here for or against this service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I have been paid by clients via Zelle, even back when it was called QuickPay (Chase) and SurePay (Wells Fargo) etc. It's tied to your checking account, and someone can send you money from their checking account by using the email address or phone number you have set up in your checking account. I think it works great and there are no fees. Usually payment shows up almost right away. All that said, I have not used it for selling gear.

It's with a fellow mixer in my region whom I have known for a while so I trust him. But he is younger so I was wanting to make sure this wasn't a fly-by-night service that he just discovered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Flaitz Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Zelle is the banking industry answer to venmo. Very secure, if not a little annoying to set up sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Zelle is part of my Chase on line account. Use it for many payments, never a problem with instant response to transactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel McIntosh Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Zelle works very well. I have used it for payment for gear on this forum. I would caution to think twice before using it in an unknown situation as it an instant transfer of funds, without a built in dispute mechanism.
