    Quoted from Davidus56:

    So question. If someone has 5 perfect reviews all given in the last 2 months and has been a member of Pinside for 2 years AND has a godzilla LE for $16,750 AND will only take payment with PayPal friends and family... does that set off any alarms?
    I'm thinking this is a little too high risk for me.

    I thinki see the listing you’re referencing and it looks like it’s pending. The seller had his address verified as well, which requires Pinside mailing a letter with a code.

    As a seller i wouldn’t even do F&F let alone regular PayPal anymore. there’s just absolutely no protection for a seller with anything but a wire transfer, and that doesn’t even factor in the newer tax reporting laws.
