Good point ... due to OP's low post count I just "ASS"umed.  Cheesy  Generally speaking though that's the case.

I had considered that, and I fully support the suggestion to show default trust scores to guests without an account, but OP's account was registered almost a year ago in February 2018. So unfortunately in this case, it seems just like a case of complete naivety, especially when it seems he was scammed twice in quick succession by two different users selling from auto-buy links in locked threads.

I find it interesting but sad as well that despite the negative ratings he is still managing to scam other over his catch line : 80% off.

Likely because they are newbies who often buy without creating an account here and are unable to see any trust ratings.

Both this user, and the other user you opened a thread about, are already tagged by DT, have been for months, and have "Warning: Trade with extreme caution!" under their usernames.

Furthermore, anyone selling from a locked or self-moderated thread should be approach very cautiously, since they can silence/remove negative feedback and leave themselves fake positive feedback..

You would be wise to do more due diligence in the future before trading.
