Misc Dealing with gunpost
When buying or selling something on gunpost and someone responds to your ad with a profile but has either no reviews or recently made the account less then a week, month or six months? Do you even respond ? What's the cut off? Or offered you a deposit but can't pick it up for a month? (I have had this also now) Just say screw it and decide to keep it instead lol?

Never take deposits, have them pay in full and they take it now or leave it.
If you're doing EMT, just be careful a lot of people try to scam in classifieds. Instead of sending you money that you can deposit, they send you a money request which means you're paying them.
The other precaution I hear people do is turn off auto deposit for EMT and make sure to get the password from them and accept the payment manually. Usually EMT are irreversible, but I seen a few stories where others have said banks have reversed the transfer because the sender claimed it was sent to the wrong person or wrong amount.
