Well, I guess I felt more assured because he owned a business and was very knowledgable about BMW parts - we talked for some time prior to me actually sending payment.
Plus he did have other FS posts some time ago where items sold & I didn't see anyone bringing up any problems.
Low post count and no iTrader doesn't necessarily mean you are a crook - I had a low post count at one time & I never ripped off anyone in my life, plus I can't count how many things I sold on here that I gave feedback to the Buyer - never to receive any Seller feedback in return.
So my new program is I don't leave feedback till they leave it for me
