Ugh.. I'm 50 and not too tech savvy, so I'm going to ask the dumb question that everyone else knows.

What I don't understand is how did "Harkovchan" list anything for sale if his account was banned in 2017? Even if this Nigerian fellow had his password, what good does it do if you are banned and can't even log on?

Can I get a "for dummies" explanation. If you don't have time, I understand. This just piques my interest.

I HATE learning from others misfortune, but the lesson I have learned is that if someone is willing to save for 10 years (or 10 months), they should hold on just a bit longer and wait 10 percent longer for the peace of mind of going through a TRF trusted seller if an AD isn't viable.

To the OP:

I'm so freaking sorry this happened to you. It seriously breaks my heart. You don't need anyone piling on you for making the mistake of trusting someone, it doesn't help and isn't productive. My wish for you is either you find a way to get your money back or you have an unexpected run of financial success that allows you to buy your dream watch.
