I bought a sign last night from a seller with a 23 feedback rating as a buyer but no seller history. It's a unique sign from a closed down music studio. It is a big sign so shipping was $175 and the sign was $100. It was listed around midnight. I messaged the seller about 45 minutes after it was posted asking for the measurements. No response. Possible red flag, but it was almost 1:00 am. I took a chance fully aware I was taking a risk. I felt ok about it because of ebay's protection policies that have always served me well on the rare occasion I have a problem. I could gauge by the pics that the sign is about a 3ft square and probably weighs 15- 20lbs. Ships usps ground. 40inÃ—40in is the largest package usps will accept and the estimated cost from their zip code to mine was $185 with my guess on measurements. So the high shipping cost seemed accurate. I was hoping I'd wake up with a response to my message from last night, but nothing. It seems like an odd thing to sell to scam someone, plus ebay holds new seller funds for 21 days so I'm not sure what a scam seller stands to gain out of this. Paid via PayPal. Now it's a waiting game. I know it hasn't even been 24 hours yet. Iposted this to get perspective and opinions from other people to see how they would feel about this sale being legit or a possible scam. Item number 375855657316. Your input is appreciated.https://www.ebay.com/itm/375855657316
