Is it wrong to inquire about payment method?

    This person was selling r.md for 4.5 millions:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=639686

    I inquired about the payment method.

    He answered "go to Hell and Wait".
    He also accused me; saying I sent him a fake bid of 5 millions.

    I was wrongly accused for something I had never done.

    Amazingly though, all my posts in that thread were deleted.

    Inquiring about payment method is very normal... even in sales thread.

    So why were my posts deleted?? :confused:

    You know that's a really good question. Why were they deleted and why did he/she have a problem with your very reasonable question. I mean payment method could have been escrow, bank wire transfer or some other unknown. So what's the big idea?!

    Hmm... I'd say that user might want to add the letter 'o' after the 'h' in his/her username. Because his response was just that............ psycho ---> psycho101.

    Don't worry lol, I emailed him saying I wanted tobuy it for $4.5 million, he emailed back with his paypal account. I don't know how serious he was but surely anyone asking $4.5 mill would use western union or something lol :p
    Also had all my posts in that thread deleted ;)

    LOL, so YOU are the culprit! :D
    He accused me of sending fake bids to his email.
    I don't even know his email.

    That person is strange, he said people who have negative thoughts are having mental problems, but he himself has negative thoughts about me... And no apologies at all. The mods seem to support his rude behavior (because my legitimate posts were deleted and I got a warning/infraction). Oh Well.

    Any one putting millions down on a deal or product should at least have the decency to show up in person!

    That's a huge amount to be paid via paypal which I don't think is possible for that amount.

    Yeah that was me, I nearly fell off my chair when he replied back giving me his paypal to send the millions to :p

    He then said that making fake bids of over a million is illegal or something, i'm sure its not, is it?

    I am not sure whether it is illegal...
    Anyway, the thread is already locked now.

    As recon16 said,
    "There a bunch of lunatics in the world, and alot of them have access to the internet."
