In my opinion judging from your screenshots, the reasons he puts out are sketchy, especially his refusal to use escrow with SebastianJu. There should be little to no hesitation to accepting escrow. (Especially if the other person pays the fees)
Saying that "under 2 BTC is a joke" is also a weak reply in my opinion, as while that amount isn't colossal, it's big enough to use escrow. However, these are just my opinions.
Absolutely agree with you.
After compare of 2 btc with a joke and radical escrow refusal my willingness to proceed with the deal went down.
These and other arguments I didn't post here are quite offensive and arrogant for a businessman selling his product.
This is not the way a customer should be treated and even if the guy is legit I better give my money to someone who is client oriented.
I imagine what after-sales service he is providing
Already had bad experience trusting my BTC with upfront payment so I am not falling for advance trust giving to anyone who has no positive feedback or recommendations from a trusted person.
I bet if will try to add any option to deal like invoice for wire payment, providing his ID, or trusted recommendation he will refuse to do it and call me scammer
