If you were buying harder to find cricut carts(not the really exclusive ones - just middle of the road ones) for a reasonable price and when you went back less than 30 mins later and the pics have been removed would you still complete the deal. Also seller switched from commenting on the pic to asking to be pm'd.
Now I've, Already had a conversation with them. Agreed to a price. Got the paypal invoice. She added no returns to it. Which I get... But... Makes me a little leery though because I had to ask twice if the carts were linked. She said no, but then you never really know until you get them. Shipping was a tad high, so I went back to see if there was anything I wanted to add to the box. Photos are gone - aka unavailable. Also seller switched from commenting on the pic to asking to be pm'd.
Would you still complete the transaction? I'm undecided. I like the carts, but don't "need need" them. Total $ out would be $75 if she flakes.

I would, but only doing it as a Paypal "payment" not as "sending money to friends or family." That way you can dispute it if it's not as indicated. I'd want the invoice to be really clear about what is being received though.
Lots of details would matter though - does her profile appear to be her real name/picture/have other info about her? What kind of facebook is it? If it's a local group, why is it paypal and shipping vs meeting in person? Does the group have rules against shipping?
The PM thing does seem questionable... is she "selling" to multiple people?
Ultimately, if your gut is telling you to hold off and $75 would be a big deal to you (it would to me), then back out.

rxgal's advice makes sense to me. That being said, I tend to go with my gut on things like this and assume that if it sounds hinky it probably is.

It's not a local facebook group. It a large group of 15,000 people. She does have a real pic of someone as her profile, that's pretty much all I can see. Where as I have a pic of my newest pet as my profile pic. LOL!
$75 wouldn't kill me or keep food from the table. But it would make me feel foolish. And I hate to get into all that disputing stuff.

And BAM! Just like that the entire fb post is gone. I am passing. Something is off/wrong. My gut says it's not worth the risk.
