I hear you.
Still, I reckon both seller and buyer were in the wrong. I felt, however, the vitriol levelled at the seller was nasty and vicious - particularly digging up photos - with a real mob mentality vibe.
Why can’t we put too much blame on buyers who pay via gift, then moan when the anonymous person they’ve just gifted a load of dosh to doesn’t live up to all their promises?

Seller behaved like a weasel cunt.
Buyer went all guns blazing and got a result where others may have given up and let the weasel cunt away with their cash.
I think you’re on your own with this one.

FWIW I agree with you somewhat; mocking his appearance doesn't really resolve the problem of him stealing money off someone. However, in that situation the buyer is merely naive/optimistic compared to a seller who is cruel/evil/a criminal/whatever. It's like old ladies who get tricked into giving their money to a Nigerian scammer.

That's not really what I meant. A lot of the times unsuspecting buyers are persuaded by shady sellers to pay as a gift, with the above consequences. I wouldn't put too much blame on these buyers, other than having faith in people. The way I see it, Velocio's policy was put in place to just prevent this mess all together, definitely to protect the buyer. Not everyone knows about it though.
