Forgive me Gareth for saying this again to our members, but I recommend you do not hand over payment for anything until you are sure you are going to get your goods, & don't base that on somebody saying "it's on its way", or "collect from this address"... pay for it when you get there.
I avoided a £4k rip off by insisting on escrow or payment on collection...
It got really ludicrous when the seller suggested I paid straight away & he'd send me proof of posting by way of a courier consignment number (for what? a box of shreddings?), & then said I had to pay him immediately (Western Union) & he would next day the goods to me otherwise his daughter would not get the urgent heart operation she needed & would die. If that were true then my suggestion that he should next day the goods to me & then I'd pay him should have been acceptable.
Likewise it would be unwise for Gareth to send you the item(s) before he gets paid.
Do not get ripped off.
