Is PayID safe for Facebook Marketplace transactions?
PayID is safer than cash for Facebook Marketplace — there's a transaction record and it's linked to a real bank account. Scam risk: fake PayID confirmation screenshots. Always confirm in your banking app that payment has actually cleared before releasing the item. The payment is instant via NPP (New Payments Platform). Never accept PayID from someone who insists on paying more than the asking price and wants you to refund the difference — that's a common overpayment scam.
