Trust a seller based on post counts and phone calls. If a seller is selling something at a great price but insists on being paid by friends and family, who only has 4 posts, and wont talk on the phone, that's a red flag. Beware! On the other hand if the seller that has 500+ posts is offering the same great deal, it's likely legit. I welcome phone calls on anything I'm selling to insure my buyer I'm legit and have asked for the friends and family option as it's the only thing that protects me as a seller once what I'm selling leaves my hands. If your a seller you know what can happen when you send something off that someone complains about. You can very easily be out the funds you received and the product that you sent out plus the time to box and deliver it to the shipper and the price of shipping that you paid to have it shipped. Scammers make this whole online transaction so much harder than it has to be for sure. IMHO.
