Anyone Use VENMO For Payment On A Parts Purchase?

When You're Buying Something From A Stranger
Details:

If you’re trying to buy something using Venmo, a scammer may try and persuade you to pay them first (the full or partial amount) and then not provide what they promised you
This is especially common with items that are rare, popular, and hard to find (like gaming consoles, shoes, concert tickets, mobile devices, and more)
A scammer may give you fake shipping information or screenshots to convince you they’ve sent the item when they actually haven’t.
They may ask you to not mark the payment as a purchase. When you tag a payment to a personal profile as a purchase, your payments for eligible items will be covered by Purchase Protection, and you can contact us afterward if something goes wrong.
How to avoid this scam:

Only buy things from strangers on Venmo if you’re purchasing from a Venmo approved business account or if you mark the payment to a personal profile as a purchase.
Approved business accounts will say “Eligible items covered by Purchase Protection” under the “Pay” button.
