Most unfortunately, Chris is right.
My most recent experience was with an Italian, who bought from me an FX-9590.
Sent it with registered Post and tracking number.
Buyer opened a case " item not received ".
Tracking number showed clearly that item was delivered on 28-2-2017.
Lost money and cpu.
P.S.
There is unfortunately, as Chris and Pieter are well aware off, a very-very small minority of really bad fellow members.
I have lost in my almost four years stay here, almost 2000 Euros from transactions on HWBOT.
I suppose crooks exist all over.
