My correspondence with the seller:
DC: I'm curious why you wouldn't want to meet and verify your ID, have me take pictures of your item for sale, etc, since I live in the same city you claim to be in? This will help you sell your item.
First i dont know why you are attacking me i want to sell something and use Escrow so how i will scam ppl + i told i would accept paypal from trusted ppl what more you want !!!!
This was just to determine his IP address though, which is not a Tor exit node. Where is he?
