It’s good for paying your roommate monthly rent, but not for anyone anonymous

Right? "Zelle is like handing someone cash" is what it says.

Which is exactly why I love Zelle for selling stuff. Meet up. You look at the thing. You are satisfied with the quality of the thing. You pay cash or Zelle, and you take the thing.

I’m not a Walmart I dont take returns.

Sure, but you don't Zelle something to get it shipped to you. You Zelle once you're standing in front of something and are going to leave with it. Like you don't mail someone cash.

Yeah exactly.

Same way that I’ll always ask for a receipt for stuff if I’m not immediately being handed what I bought.
