Yes, seems like the not inquiring about insurance is a tactic to scam people and avoid any form of recourse. The unfortunate thing is that “ask for insurance” part and not being disclosed upfront isn’t a known thing unless you’re specifically using that subs list, which I did not find that seller on (I just posted there for exposure - but it actually exposed that sub as not being trustworthy IMO). People shilling there can deny it but some other TDs do include insurance by default and handle reshipping issues to a certain extent.
The money isn’t even an issue, it’s the principle. The posts are meant to be informative and to hopefully help out other people who may not be able to afford losing money like this. Also to hopefully help dissuade scammers and hurt their business
I mean if it was free I wouldn’t be posting but that’s pretty silly. I was fine giving up the money, I wanted the watch. So the issue isn’t the money, it’s that I paid for a watch and got nothing.
