I want to buy his 5D II combo, but he did not answer all my questions, so I steered away. Lucky me.

UPDATE:

Payment was sent through Amazon payments, seller stated that there was an "issue" with his account and that he initiated a refund. The seller then stated that it would be easier for me to send an Amazon giftcard for payment. I won't be sending a giftcard.... After 3 days of not seeing the funds back in my account a claim was filed through Amazon. Last communication from the seller was Friday 8/24/12.

It would be helpful if you copy and past your posts regarding your experience in http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/buy-sell/288998-buy-sell-negative-feedback-members.html

Notifying TPF staff of a possible scammer using TPF's Buy/Sell forum by using the post Report function is also advisable.

I saw that referenced in another for sale thread but wanted to give the seller a chance to make things right prior to labeling him as a scammer. I'll post in the appropriate forum at the end of the week.


UPDATE

After a call to Amazon yesterday, "send money" transactions are not covered by the buyer dispute program. However, I was able to get a refund. My Amazon account now shows a transaction for the full refund amount, however it does not show in the "Account Balance" portion of the account. I likely have to wait another few business days to have full access to my funds.

Lessons learned for buyers and sellers? Use Paypal or cash. If the 3% fee is going to break the bank, you have other issues you need to deal with first.

A great example of why feedback is a must for me when dealing with online purchases. Typical Red Flags to me are low low post counts, lack of feedback and other forms of payments other than paypal requested.
