Just a bank transfer.
- hartator 4y ago> Just a bank transfer. Which is not free, anonymous, and require a third party.

- B8MGHCBekDuRi 4y agomade up Latin adage is more than enough to identify you as a monero spammer. sine intelligentia non sunt secreta
- Teandw 4y agoIt's free in most EU countries. I've never paid for a bank transfer. The third party doing the transaction gives me some protection that I wouldn't otherwise have. Can't argue against the anonymous part of it but when the transaction is between me, the seller and the bank, I'm not sure why it would need to be anonymous.

- cute_boi 4y agoWell taxpayer pays for these transactions probably? Regarding anonymous part, there are some people life refuge/dissidents who might wanna hide their expenditure? Also, I don't wanna give any data access to government because I don't trust them simply.
- ErikCorry 4y agoIf I'm transferring €10k to someone I don't want it to be anonymous. I want to know who got my money so I can go after them if it turns out to be fraudulent.
- tester756 4y agoIndeed, what's going on here?
- B8MGHCBekDuRi 4y agounless you print the money at home, it always gonna involve three parties. I believe that by anonymous you meant secret. It's not anonymous, the person who sold the item already learned a lot of things about you and you about the buyer, including your faces and what was the transaction about, which is often more than enough to identify people. What difference does it makes if the bank knows about the transaction? And why you wanna hide it from the bank? There's probably a good reason, but it raises more questions than it's worth, so the reason must be veeeeeery good.
- rosnd 4y agoThe seller claims they don't see the transfer on their end, who keeps the car? Buying a car with a bank transfer is a great way to get scammed by someone selling the same car multiple times.
- bonzini 4y agoI don't know what kind of prehistoric banking system exists in the US, but that just won't happen. The buyer has a bank transfer id and both parts can check the status with their bank. There are also instant transfers that cost around 1€ of fixed commissions. They complete in about ten seconds after which the other side can check their account and the money will be there. And finally you can use a money order if you really don't want to do a bank transfer and prefer paper.
- benhurmarcel 4y agoInstant transfers are free in some banks already even.
- rosnd 4y ago>I don't know what kind of prehistoric banking system exists in the US I wouldn't know, given that I am European. > The buyer has a bank transfer id and both parts can check the status with their bank. Generally there is no quick and easy way to verify that the beneficiary has actually received their funds. >There are also instant transfers that cost around 1€ of fixed commissions. They complete in about ten seconds after which the other side can check their account and the money will be there. So what? There are lots of banks which do not support instant transfers, sometimes instant transfer money just doesn't show up instantly and there's very little visibility that end-users would have into that.
- benhurmarcel 4y agoThe seller claims you haven’t actually given him the cash, who gets to keep the car?
- thiht 4y agoYou give your bag of money to the seller. They take it and leave with the car. What do you do?
