Have seller FRONT the deal in question to inspect prior to paying.
I did it b4 if seller not willing to do it based on your credibility being an Old timer vs brand new member something's up 4sure.
Another SCAM trick- the seller sells you a cheap $200-$300 item all goes well then next time he PM solicits you to pay $750 for another crazy deal too good to be true item you never receive.
Then scammer opens up new AGN account and starts the process again.
Beware on trades too because scammers don't send theirs then sell your gun to cash in.
Scammer also buys your gun thru PayPal them disputes it send you box of rocks then he gets proof he returned (your gun your rocks) then PayPal refunds his full payment traded you his box o rocks (same weight) 4 your gun.
If you a power seller on eBay scammers easy pickings forced to ship within 24 hours they cancel the order after 2 days EBay yanks PayPal money back for customer scammer tefund and item already shipped. Scammer gets it for free.
