I posted a WTB post and received a private message from a prospective seller registered in April 2019 with no posts - after a very quick price negotiation via private email we moved to payment. I asked for the seller paypal information and received a response that requested we use friends and family, and the seller asked me to confirm this would be suitable - and then they would send me the information needed to use friends and family (I've used f&f before and nothing was needed beyond the same email). I declined and offered to pay the transaction fee as well to use "normal" paypal. The seller replied they only wanted to use friends and family and want to ship it tomorrow (I guess to make me hurry up?)...I told the seller I was no longer interested and did not receive a response.
Anyway, just reporting my incident for the common good - be careful out there. I have been buying and selling on this board for more than 15 years with no issues and this is the first time it has even felt weird....
