Seller Red Flags Every Buyer Should Know Before Sending Money

Before you send a dollar, run this checklist. If two or more of these signals are present, walk away.

• Refuses any escrow service — only "trusted middleman" they recommend.
• Pushes for crypto to a fresh wallet with no transaction history.
• Story changes between conversations — price, delivery time, what's included.
• Avoids live video or screen-share verification.
• Account has zero reputation and was created in the last week.
• Listing copied verbatim from another seller's marketplace post.
• Pressures you to close before "someone else takes it".
• Asks for partial payment up-front "to prove you're serious".

The single fix: fund through Escrows Click. The seller sees their money locked and visible, you control the inspection window, and disputes go to a human moderator. See /how-it-works.

Escrows Click holds funds in a neutral wallet, verifies delivery, and only releases payment when both parties are satisfied. Start a deal in two minutes at escrows.click.
