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?

I'll deal with new accounts like this: full payment up front. Pal required obviously, only shipped and no local meet ups.

What’s the issue with local meetups?
Either way, the main struggle I have is dealing with non-pal required trades, such as for flashlights and optics. Not fully sure how reputable the user should be before agreeing to the exchange

I don't trust random people on the internet. No need to take the risk when someone is willing to have it shipped.

Non-issue for me. I just ship the thing after getting the emt.
