I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.
I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.
please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add

If the BG does ACH into your checking account, lets say, 20k after they scanned the items. As mentioned by someone, this amount is not considered as income (if you earn 0 commission) but a reimbursement of the purchase price. Do you still have to report this amount with some IRS FORM when filing tax next year?

Points Makee
same here sitting by PM with 3k delivered on the 1st of Dec and nothing checked in, check requested 3rd of Dec and also nothing, I hope things get faster there cause it starts to worry me, since they haven't sent out a warehouse update in the past week or more.

definitely have the best experience buying for BFMR. their Salem location usually checks in the same day and the other four location usually checks in packages 2~4 business days. payments are all issued via ACH the same day that the pkgs are checked in. emails are all promptly responded, never had a lost package. There was one damaged package but it was Walmart's fault so I sent it back for a refund.
Pointsmaker is not bad. they did 30+ deals for prime day and has only checked in 5/10 of mine so far. hopefully they won't lose any packages. payments usually takes longer to issue compared to BMFR, but usually less than a week.

It took them like 10 days to check in my last package to them. From their updates it looks like that is what its gonna be for a bit. Its taken a couple days for ticket responses on what usually takes a couple hours. I'd hit them up on whatsapp though if its been awhile on ticket w no response.

I don’t think they work with each other per se although some groups use the same software. They’re in competition for deals and different groups will outbid one another. Some groups do share the same warehouse though which increases the risk of a package getting lost or going to the wrong group.

Just a tip I’ve realized having done BFMR for 6+ months: if you can pay via PayPal, you should do so. The buyer protection is second to none and way easier than a CC dispute. The burden is on the merchant prove delivery via signature vs on the customer.

Help with USA Buying Group
I just started BG for a couple of months, used a few BGs and for the most part, they're all pretty good (other than the delays lately).
BUT I bought 2 GoPros for USA Buying Group what was delivered on 11/17 and 11/19. I think they lost one, and I requested the payment for the one they have and no response.
I opened a ticket more than a week ago about those issues, they just replied they'll look into it and then nothing after that.
Does anyone has their contact number? It's very frustrating when this happens
