This is my experience with this person (Durvelle7) below after contacting him to make the sale, take what what you will but he ghosted me after the last conversation. (I am green and he is red, in the text below) YMMV.
Hi,
I'd be interested in that preamp. Is your email your PayPal account?
Thank you for getting in touch. Below are my PayPal details for payment. Please let me know once the payment is sent, and be sure to select the “Family and Friends” option. Kindly attach the payment receipt for record-keeping.
Hi,
Nothing personal but I won't do friends & family because it offers me zero protection. However, I will add the 3% charge that PayPal would deduct for goods and services so that you clear the $200. That way you will get the full amount, and I will be protected if anything goes wrong. If you're OK with that I will complete the transaction.
“Due to the high shipping costs, I won’t be able to cover those expenses upfront. However, to ensure protection for both of us, I can accept payment on delivery with the following arrangement: you would pay 50% of the agreed price before shipping and the remaining 50% once the item arrives. This ensures the shipping cost is covered, and you can settle the balance before the courier leaves. This is the most preferred method. Let me know if this works for you.
Hi,
I don't really follow and this seems complicated to me. I will pay the up charge 3% for goods & services, so you will receive the full $200. Your not paying for it, I am. Friends & Family has been used by scammers and offers no recourse for money sent that way. I'm not sure how the shipping cost comes in to play, as it is the same no matter how the money is sent.
Hi,
Are still interested in selling this, you never replied to my email?
This happened over a one day period and after my last message I've contacted him several times over the last two days with no response.
