Sorry for your loss Taiye, I have dealt with a couple of International sellers and thou I didn't get scammed one wanted me to wire the funds to his account after Paypall rejected the transaction several times for fraud warning, needless to say I didn't wire the funds because ,
1, Audiogon has a warning about wiring funds to personal accounts and keeping all communications thru Audiogon.
2. Paypall rejected the transaction as fraud do to a linked account. Im not saying there was any intentional fraud on his side and I don't believe there was.
Another transaction that didn't go thru with a verified seller refunded my funds which was done with my CC.
Wiring funds to a personal account I would never do, there is absolutely no protection for you vs CC and PayPall in which you have a little more recourse if something goes sour.
Tammy at Audiogon has been very helpful with me on both transaction.
