I rely heavily on my eBay side hustle to pay bills and credit card debt so I hope this doesn't come back to haunt me. eBay and PayPal have split but PayPal is still the dominant way to pay for goods and it will be a while before more alternatives are introduced.

I'd like to believe I'm less prone to scams because I don't sell electronics, which seem to attract super shady people more than the used media (books/vinyl LPs) resell industry.
