buying from a stranger, is a "Money Request" safe?

[mathcamp]

So I found someone selling coachella tickets for a good price but theyre on the other side of the US, when asking for payment they sent a money request, am I covered in case I get scammed? Or should I ask for an invoice and pay the small fee?

Hi mathcamp,

Great question! A money request is still considered a payment for "Goods & Services," which means all the standard Buyer Protection applies!

Hope this helps, have fun at the concert!
