Reverb may redact sensitive information from messages for your own protection. The most secure way to communicate about Reverb transactions is via Reverb's messaging system, and submit and accept payment via Reverb's shopping cart and checkout system.
Reverb specializes in removing the risk from buying and selling gear online, and the only way we can provide the best service in the event any problems arise regarding an order is to have a record of all communications between buyer and seller.
Not only does this ensure your order is totally protected, but it also helps us keep the lights on, keep our fees extremely low compared to our competitors, and keep this amazing community of musicians thriving.
