Cash app, payment confirmation

Hi, I'm trying to buy a gun. The guy won't take a card. He said get the cash app and send payment confirmation on the memo. Is this common? Is this a known scam? What stopping him from taking my money and not sending what I bought? Thanks so much! - Paul

Not a Damn thing except his rep. Look at his feedback.
You did not already bid on and win the firearm, did you?
Let's see the auction and go from there.
People using the easy way to get payments are a flag to me, unless it is a credit card. There is too great a chace for fraud. You also KNOW you are busting their terms of use. Do you think they will help is the sale goes bad? I doubt it. The above post shows the money ex-changers are ANTI-GUN with strict policies on no guns so why bother?????????????
I used paypal once and sent a cashier's check another time but both were only about 100 bucks, felt like a gamble both times and both times things went wrong, first time usps lost my check for a week and a half but the seller was cool about it and eventually got it, the paypal purchase the item was lost by ups and never turned up, seller made a claim and refunded me fortunately but now I'm stuck with a won item in my gunbroker that I cant get rid of and the seller cant cancel without marking me as nonpaying bid winner or something
