Feedback ShootingNewDude

[Petewheeler678]

I put out a WTB add for a moderator. This guy reached out with what I was looking for and said to email him. I emailed him back and forth and we came to a good price. I said I would PayPal him, he asked for FF. I looked for any feedback on here and there was none, so I sent money GS and covered fees. He refused to except that and said he only accepts FF for payment. I explained that without feedback or knowing him or someone I know dealing with him, I was only comfortable sending GS payment and told him to refund me if he won't accept it. 



He may be a good seller, but he was corresponding only on email, then wanted payment to another email, and wouldn't accept GS with me covering fees and has zero feedback. Just seemed like too many flags for me to do the deal. 



His communication was good, but with a lack of feedback, I just didn't want to risk it.

I would have walked too. If he won't let you do G&S when you pay the fee, there's probably a good reason why.

Yep, total BS. Evading G&S when YOU cover fees is pretty big red flag. Not worth the risk at any rate.

He did reply back and offer to accept G&S after a day. I ended up going a different route with the suppressor and not needing his. So I don't know how he is as a seller. I don't want to bash him, but hopefully he will accept G&S from a few buyers until his name is a little more known. I would try buying from him in the future if it's G&S.
