New here, and ready for a purchase

[dantltj]

I've never bought anything off of this site and I'm in the process of making a deal. Not passing judgment here but how do you figure out the legitimacy of a seller? I have no idea what these points or ratings mean. Is there a certain payment method that is preferred? Thank you all for any input. First time buyer here

This is what I got when I searched the sellers PayPal profile. He asked to send $1 first. Is this sketchy?

 

[CO2TLEY]

Yes lol. No need to send a test run for a transaction. I’d pass

Yes, very sketchy. When purchasing always send via the “goods and services” option. That way you get buyer protection with your purchase.

On my husband’s business on Reef2Reef, you can click on the 100% under ratings, and see all the reviews plus choose PayPal when paying for your purchase for protection, or google the business
