The early days of online payments (paypal) maybe. Unless they're talking about usenet selling, in which case I don't remember it being 'thrilling' to get a money order in the mail.
- sireat 5y agoI sold/bought music CDs as well as anime model kits on the usenet (on the .marketplace ones) around the time of "Eternal September". It was pretty thrilling to get money order in the mail. There was little to no scamming goin on. If someone wanted to be a bad actor, they'd be run out of town pretty quickly. I miss those days.
