I've had more than a few 'Newbie' sellers off the Marketplace that claim to do Escrow , but want payment of shipping fees upfront.

They are scams, as these dbags don't mind making up new accounts and scamming a few people out of small BTC with no recourse, thinking they are getting a deal.

BEWARE people.

Rules & Suggestions for picking out scams :
No Escrow = SCAM
Escrow, but pay for shipping upfront = SCAM


When dealing with a member for escrow, double and triple check their username and trust feedback.
Check their profile which will show if they have recently changed their passwords. If YES, be careful!


Also, the old Bait and Switch.
They claim to have on hand item for shipment, yet after dealing, turns out they are for 'pre-order' or future delivery date.
Only a moron would buy something with a future delivery date knowing the difficulty increases and possibility of a total SCAM.

Word about the Trust system :
Lately I've seen it act 'funny' by not properly showing positive feedback, so bear that in mind.
Negative feedback sometimes could just be an accused scammer trying to 'get even' by leaving some BS feedback.. (Like in my trust feedback)
