I took a gamble with this. I had two old GoPros knocking about so sold them on eBay, rather than spend, I invested. I took a gamble
My results from the borrowing reddits
Borrow one - guy asked for $30 with $20 interest.... paid back four days late. I got the $50 but I didn't calculate PayPal fees either way, slightly up on the deal
Borrow two - guy asked for $50 and went walkies. Lost
Borrow three - female asked for $100 and $40 interest... two days late but she had established account so actually paid back $160 via friend
Borrow four - a couple wanted $60 with $20 back... another late one, paid $40 then told me they were struggling as they got burgled... after chatting it looked legit and they gave me details. I thought sod it, have the $40 back and eat for a few days. vanished for month, came back and the guy cheated on the girl... she paid me back $300 as she sold his car so LOL
Is it worth the time and hassle... not really. Would I do again, not sure but I'll check the Reddit for a while and just see. I'm a sucker for a sob story so being a loan shark isn't really for me
Can the Reddit make cash... some but it is a gamble and won't make a lot if you calculate time spent
