bassist_lewis Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 hey everyone, I'm selling a bass on Reverb (also on here as well and tbh would rather sell it here) and someone has contacted me and immediately asked to reply to their personal email. I find this worrying for two reasons: 1) if the transaction is off the site then, I assume, I am not protected by Reverb's Ts & Cs, 2) under their message it says "XYZ cannot receive messages at this time", which happened when an account has been suspended, and doesn't bode well for the potential buyer. I'm leaning towards ignoring the message but wondered if this was typical practice on Reverb to avoid seller fees. Thanks L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took us months to work out where it was coming from. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
