Has anyone bought from this site from a private seller who doesn’t offer the escrow option?
They accept PayPal.
Is it safe to continue
I figure I’ll use a credit card and if I do t get the watch I can dispute it ?

I have purchased private from C24, but I thought the escrow service is always in play whether private or dealer.
I would tread carefully without it, especially if the seller is from another country.
Paypal direct allows you the do a ppal purchase invoice instead of friends and family.
So you do get protection for receiving a purchased item.
Good luck…

I would not.

I questioned the seller in regards to refund and received no reply.

Thank you

I would pass if a private seller will not use the site's escrow service. Too much risk.

The only advantage of dealing with a private person is the price.
In return you might get scammed, fake parts, get robbed or beaten.
Why even consider , it’s not worth it.

Just deal with reputable sellers. In the boutique section there is a fine selection of them

Agreed. I bought a relatively rare vintage watch from a private person on C24. It went through their escrow. I also checked out the seller online, and he was a legit guy, with a legit reason to sell it.

I would totally pass if the seller doesn’t use the escrow service. Why wouldn’t he?

I bought privately through Chrono24

I believe the escrow service is available for private sellers but the allowances for a refund are VERY limited compared to buying from a dealer
With Private seller escrow, you get a refund if you never receive the watch BUT if you get the watch and discover its Fake/Not As Described you're out of luck
