wire transfer

[papasmurf]

hi all- i am thinking about buying a watch from a private seller via an online forum (paneristi). the seller is located in michigan (i am in san fran) so in person inspection is impractical.

in general, how do i make sure the transaction is legit and what protection do i have if i use wire transfer?

thanks in advance-

brad

You need to check out the seller

Has the seller sold/bought before?

Can you verify that the seller is who they say they are?

Does the seller have references?

Is the seller here on TRF?

Once you wire that money it's gone you're not going to get it back so make sure you buy the seller first.
