Seeking opinion on what level of fault belongs to me in the case where,
I posted "I'll Take it" then seller says He will move on after sending me payment info and posting SPF.
We have all been here. It's time to Pay. Not negotiate or ask about is this like this and is that like that.
Everybody distains posters who vacilate then say "terms have changed". BLA BLA.
So, here goes. My reply to a warning from the admins, and I have not heard back yet.
The reason I say this now is because the seller prolly complained and told a version of the comms between us.
It is quite possible that a policy for some items of assurance would be called for if and only if requested.
It is quite possible that, that could be good for the forum.
What do you think?

Hi.
I read and understand the warning.
I am only seeking a clarification from you regarding one point.
I did have sufficient interest in the sale of the item.
He agreed to sell it to me.
I did not ask him info outside of what could have been done before I said I would take it.
I did not try to negotiate price after I said I would take it.
He emailed me with payment info and posted SPF.
At the point it went bad was I asked him to send me a photo, with an object in the frame. I gave him a choice of some object he could use, but said anything he felt comfortable with.
I did this to say, I need some assurance that the knife is in hand.
It is true that images can be downloaded from internet and other forums , saved on computer then offered as for sale.
I feel it is reasonable.
Whether the Moderators choose to make it an option during payment phase, that is not up to me.
I see nothing wrong in a policy where sellers "should" agree to provide a "proof of life" pic if the buyer requests it.
That is all I did.
This seller denied me the item, said he would move on.
Then he added he would take more pics if needed AFTER I posted in the sales thread,
Seller refused a simple request for a fresh pic, simply saying he would move on.
The admins are clear, no one can post in an exchange thread opinion.
Posters must have an interest in contributing to a sale.
They say I forced seller to close and poisoned the sale. "Not Cool"
In my opinion his pride was the only thing hurt here and I did email him saying the best thing to do was to honor the "I'll take it"
It is quite possible that this kind of occurances do not even need to get started.
IMO a deal was made when Payment instructions were sent to me.
Both sides are set now to honor the deal.
I would appreciated your feedback on this way of doing selling n buying.
I would not care to open PayPal claims to begin with.
Asking such photos like pics of post office receipt and package showing address is good business for all concerned.
