Hey guys, so I have been in contact with a buyer for my Catch 22, but I’m not sure if he/she is legitimate. Has anyone here ever sold or bought a yoyo from a user named, “bob715”? I’m not sure how to check for feedback on other forum users. Thanks for your help. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/8/7/f872a2637c124ca61849c5d48c1b1d758ba3f529.png) ---

I have not done any transactions in China either? I would think that if the buyer pays your pay pal account and pays you the amount asked(quoted)… Then by all means sell it to him and ship to his information! With pay pal you have security! ---

I suggest referring to this topic, as far as vetting of users goes > [@So this is your first time using the B/S/T](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/so-this-is-your-first-time-using-the-b-s-t/39751): > > Well you’ve seen something that you’re interested in and you’ve never used the bst.

Take a look [Profile - bob715 - YoYoExpert](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/u/bob715/activity) I’d say that’s consistent from my point of view, plus the posts align with interest in what you’re selling. Bear in mind I am a SUPER skeptical guy and I’ve … seen things … online, so for me to give it a :+1: isn’t something I do lightly. However, as the seller, if you are not comfortable shipping to China I think that is 100% fine, and your call to make as the seller. ---

Do NOT sell to this person. I sold him a draupnir about 2 years ago that mysteriously vanished in China, and he immediately forced paypal to send him a refund. Unless you are making sure that he pays for the most accurately tracked shipping, insurance, signature, etc (I repeat, make HIM pay for it) do NOT sell to this person. ---

You unfortunately do not when the package enters China. He manipulated the system to get a refund from a yoyo I sold him; the package wasn’t able to be tracked when it crossed Chinese borders, so he used that to get a yoyo and 200 dollars. Sell at your own risk. ---

Wow, I’m really sorry to hear that 😕 DHL offers tracking to the person’s front door and is, in my opinion, the best way to ship internationally. ---
