Yeah major error I made giving pos feedback. Not based on previous txn, and yes understand should only be given after a txn is complete.
Me and the erm "suspect" had a detailed pm chat about buying/selling goods, buyers habits etc etc (I sell a lot of 2nd hand vinyl records so was able to find common ground on how some folk can be time real wasters!). After that he said we should leave positive feedback for each other to which I naively agreed.
It was after that that I eventually bought the watch.
He does have 3 previous pos feed backs though but I guess they were part of his confidence building.
I was surprised he noted all the items were sold in each sales thread. I would assume a scammer would leave that open so to try to dupe a few more into parting with cash.
Plus 96 previous posts. He some effort in to gain a few hundred quid.
Kinda feel sorry for people stooping to this level - very desperate.
Anyway, onwards and upwards plenty of other good watches to look at. I just need some overtime at work now!
