Hey you have to accept criticism. From his perspective, he is actually exercising due diligence and is also looking out for other users. Showing that the watch costs only a few dollars says a lot of the quality and this is something that people need to be aware of also.
Seller DOES have this watch in their possession. And will be shipped with USPS after getting paid.
Aren't YOU the seller? Or will this be a drop shipment? You really have to clarify all this. Your trustworthiness is at risk when you don't. You will also hurt the reputation of the Steembay initiative. The idea of selling with SBD has potential but it can very easily be infiltrated by bad actors.
Personally I believe anyone selling first needs to be verified in some way. They also should meet a requirement such as x amount of posts, rep, wallet funds in order to offer insurance for the buyer.
