Lefty_loosey Posted June 15, 2020 Share Good morning guys, (I Hope I’ve posted this in the right section) I have a question that I need help with - What is the most secure method to receive a payment into your account? Currently I know about - instant EFTs (however can take up to 2 hours apparently) and Same bank to same bank (however can take up to 24h). Both these methods are not really instant, how can I safe guard myself when selling my bike to prevent the buyer reversing the funds and taking my bike?

Andrew Steer Posted June 15, 2020 Share If you and the buyer are both FNB... there is a gem of an option called the geo payment on the app. Instant and stupid easy to do. Rocket-Boy, Barry_W, Vetplant and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted June 15, 2020 Share Don't let the bike go till money has cleared and what I have done in the past is ask lbs to hold the bike till the money clears. This way you and the buyer are cover. Dexter-morgan, Andrew Steer and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
