How good is Cash App?

Guns, ammo, parts, and accessories prohibited

If Cash App catches you violating its policy, it will permanently ban you and may even seize your money.

Buyers vulnerable

Cash App does not offer purchase protection. Cash App warns: "Only send payments to people who you trust. Cash App to Cash App payments are instant and usually can't be canceled. ... Never pay someone who you don't trust for something promised to you in the future".

Sellers vulnerable

Cash App does not explain what happens if a buyer issues a chargeback on card payment. It is very likely that Cash App makes the seller financially responsible, because that is what all other payment platforms do. That means if a buyer issues a chargeback, Cash App will immediately withdraw the funds from the sellers account. In other words, the seller's funds don't really belong to the seller until the chargeback window expires 180 days after payment.

Which is better?
