Safe, Anonymous, Payment Platforms

Hello All,

If I want to conduct a person to person transaction is there a safe way to do so, which does not involve any types of fake accounts and which allows all parties to more or less remain anonymous?

For example, I want to buy an ad placement on an instagram page, but I do not want the page owner to know my true contact details, and they do not want me to know theirs but we want a legitimate and successful transaction.

Another example, I find a member selling some service on BHW and I would like to purchase it while retaining anonymity and safety.

I am not familiar with transactions such as these that might not run through a merchant processor.

I am aware that money can be transacted on platforms such as PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, but I do not know about the anonymity and/or safety aspects of such platforms.

Please provide me any advice you have.

Thank You

Thanks for this suggestion, I do not utilize crypto, any other suggestions?

if not crypto than stealth paypal acc but it's riskier.
if you want to really anonymous than learn to use crypto.
safe as in? safe for buyer than use centralized payment system that come with cost of privacy.
if you want anonymous than it will have it's own risk. like no buyer protection.

Safe as in:
Transaction occurs in a verifiable way (no pretending one party or the other didn't receive goods/money, product/service exchange occurs in conjunction with money exchange little to no delay)
All parties names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails remain hidden.

I suppose ultimately I am most concerned in having a legitimate transaction occur scam free.
Followed by an exchange of minimal personally identifiable information.
In some circumstances I might exchange names, but for example under no circumstances am I interested in sharing a home address.

Based on your answer I see perhaps my expectations are not realistic.

Thanks for your reply

I may be wrong but I don't think a platform like this exists.
Crypto is your best bet if you want both parties to be 100% anonymous.
PayPal does have an option to pay via card without an account, the buyer could enter fake personal information which would keep them 100% anonymous and you could just purchase a PayPal account from a trusted seller online.

Thank you for your reply. Perhaps I should clarify as it may change things, I do not know. I am far more interested in the buyer's privacy (mine) than both parties.

At the same time maybe I just want something unreasonable.

I have no problem going to examplewesellxyzservices.com and using a payment processor. But I am reluctant approaching BHWInfluencerxyz and purchasing the same services with some other means.

I simply want to be able to do a transaction without being scammed, without being doxxed, and with a reasonable expectation that everything is 'above board'.

The transactions I wish to conduct are legitimate and legal, I am simply leary and inexperienced, and wish to gain insight prior to being mid-transaction.

Thanks

Don't understand all the problam here.
Just go to any shop and buy a topped up pay as you go mastercard and buy your stuff simple .

You need to learn a bitcoin or coin service as many only accept bitcoin or other coin payments part of being a marketer.

Legit accounts can be safer then stealth as your guaranteed

If you make the purchase with a business paypal account your informations are not shared, only a nickname (your business name), it could be anyrhing you decide.

Ok how about this scenario:

I have a social media account I want to sell, and I want to make sure I don't get a chargeback after delivering the account.

I saw someone using paypal say that they navigate this by showing the delivery occured with screenshots, however, I do not know if paypal would actually be on board with such a transaction.

Thoughts?

Payments through Friends & Family and Donations (only if they can't send through f&f) are the safest ways to accept money on PayPal.
As long as you obey PayPal's rules and you are selling something that is legal on PayPal, 99% of the time they won't be able to chargeback.
