Buyer Red Flags Every Seller Should Know in 2026

Most scam guides focus on protecting the buyer. But sellers — especially of digital goods, accounts, and domains — are equally exposed. Here are the buyer behaviours that almost always end badly.

• Insists on paying via PayPal Friends & Family or a reversible method.
• Asks you to ship / transfer first "because they don't trust escrow".
• Sends a screenshot of a payment that never lands in your account.
• Pushes for a price far above market — classic overpayment scam setup.
• Demands you use their unfamiliar escrow service (almost always a clone site).
• New, unverified account with zero reputation, big deal value.
• Refuses to do a quick voice/video verification.
• Pressures you to rush past the inspection window.
