I want to know if anyone on the forum has purchased parts through this Instagram account. I've never purchased anything off Instagram before, however this seller (if legit) seems to offer fair prices on used parts. I have read that having lots of followers on IG shouldn't be used as a metric whether a purchase is safe. I also looked up common ways people get scammed on Instagram, but everything wasn't really applicable.
I already asked if he accepts Paypal Goods and Services, he replied yes. I looked into it and from what I see this is pretty good protection if things went sour. Has anyone ever had disputes using Paypal G&S?
While there are different backgrounds in some pictures, I noticed that some of the backdrops for various listings do indeed match--suggesting (not necessarily confirming) that the pictures weren't hijacked from someone else.
At the moment I am thinking if I screenshot all of the digital communication leading to money being sent, I would have all the proof I need if something goes wrong for Paypal to take care of it.
Obviously I don't feel fully comfortable with this yet. Looking at the followers of the account, many/most seem real. Hoping someone here has done business with them before, or even better maybe they're on here.
