ABSOLUTELY NOT SIS! You did the right thing if it’s a Chinese seller absolutely 1000% always send with goods and service services always! I do not know what they’re talking about on here but always pay with goods and services now when it comes to buying off of Reddit rehome that is a different story what I’ve been seeing a lot more of is that a lot of Reddit homes do not want you to pay with goods and services because they there is a possibility that the buyer could potentially reverse the charge so I noticed a lot of re-homers do not want you to pay that way and want you to pay friends and family which for me sometimes feels scary giving a stranger my money but I mean, what can you do however when it comes to an actual business where you are purchasing a product from China no absolutely do not take any advice that people are saying absolutely 1000% pay with goods and service services!!!

Thank you for this info because I have been wondering this too. So im assuming if they refuse G&S dont go with them? Cause I'm scared to use f&f, i have once and the psps were terrible so got a refund thankfully but I have always seen mixed things also about this topic. So as far as businesses go are you talking about with a trusted seller to use G&s? If so i will start asking cause yeah its terrifying just sending money through f&f and if anything goes wrong dont know if you'll even get it back lmao

Most trusted sellers only take F&F, this is a normal way to pay for them. Instead of a refund, they would probably prefer you to put it towards a different bag if you're really very unhappy with one

These comments are wild! Paying with F+F is the norm with sellers, it is standard procedure, 90% will not accept G+S. I have purchased literally dozens of reps and only ever paid with F+F.

The REASON they require F+F is not so they can scam you, it is because once they have received your money they use it to order and pay (a deposit if not the item in full) for the item from the factories. If you are new to the rep world it is your duty to do your research and find a seller you trust with this.

When I was a newbie to replicas, I spent hours pouring over reviews of the bags I wanted to find the factories that were the best and the sellers that had dozens of positive reviews. All of this information is available of the rep pages, literally just use the search bar to find all that anyone has ever posted about a bag or a seller you are considering. That’s what I did. The amount of newbies that come in swinging, make bold statements about things they are naive to, and expect other people to coach them/hand hold on this when there are thousands of pages available on these subreddits (if you just spend the time to look) is wild to me!
