Any thoughts selling to a brand new member here? Any other way to check via Ebay of other card pages like Facebook?
Thx for sharing advice/experience

I think you did the right thing by PM'ing me. I picked up the phone and called him. He picked up and sounded ok. Trolls and scammers don't have good phone numbers IF, and they almost never do, have one at all on file. A huge red flag.
No one that has PM'd me for a reference has gotten scammed yet.
That all said, there is no history so you still need to do some due diligence on new trading partners.
Please keep being careful!!
