I mean, it seems pretty common for people with a ‘good reputation’ to accept only wire transfer/BACS. Just look at most of the sellers at Omega Forums. Regularly requesting £15,000+ via wire. Which I do get. They’re private sales people and PayPal would rinse them for fees/it’s probably not that feasible to use a third party payment processor for someone only shifting a few watches a month.
However, 29k AUD was way below market price and despite his ‘good reputation’ aka he’s in the watch community’s public eye, the idea of sending that much cash with no protection is beyond me.
What a total cunt.
