steve f This card started out as a BIN option. Seller needed quick cash, for the holidays I presume. I caught this auction out of the gate.
After immediately emailing the seller, due to the red flags (newer seller, low feedback, and from south of the Mason-Dixon). I felt confident enough to plunk down the wad.
Murphy's Law; I go to Pay, his BIN option disappeared from the listing due to another minimum bidder. I again contacted the seller, he advised me to rise above that bidders' max and he'd end it and send the revised invoice/PP.
editted for grammar and to add; Establishing a dialogue (faith) was essential prior to purchase. Although the fear-factor was reduced, there remains a good deal of suspicion until card in hand and authenticity of, is determined... Frank's post above is on the money.
