Does anyone have experience with or knowledge of Facebook Pay?

Background = I have a truck posted for sale on Facebook Marketplace (among other places) but I know nothing about this feature (or app?) and I'm so tired of people being sketchy and scammy and weird about making offers that I am highly skeptical of this dude's suggestion to use FB Pay instead of just giving us cash $$. He first wanted to give us a CC /eyeroll/ I told him to get a cash advance from his CC. He came back with this as an option (which raises some red flags for me). He hasn't asked to see the truck or test drive it (which might just be him not wanting to waste his time coming to see it if we won't take his payment options, but it could also be another big red flag)

Obviously, I don't want to open myself up to being scammed, etc., but if it's a viable payment option and a real offer for the truck it would be good to know about.

Do you know of any reason why he'd be pushing to use FB Pay? Are there benefits to him for wanting to go this route? Or are there opportunities for him to be scamming us through this app (or feature)?

Any information or experience?

Other ideas? TIA.

@Wildfire: i recommend sticking to paypal

@Wildfire: no not really. if it may.. it is double jeopardy on your end. I do recommend separating link of your social links to your credit card links. its at least a little more secure that way.

@Wildfire: he may yeah

but sticking to what you know is always the safe option. you weren't wrong from trying to do it your way.

paypal fees exist for a reason. fb may have little to no interest but paypal have em for immediate backing u up in case a potential hacking is happening.

you can call it paypal tax xD

@Totalanimefan: THAT is exactly the kind of thing I was questioning. Not knowing the software, it's hard to know what's possible and I didn't want to jump in, naive... thank you

@decomposer: yeah, exactly. A lot of flags with this one.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, so does mine, but it's impossible to stay up to date with every piece of software out there these days. Thanks again.
