But where does the credit card company come in? You said that you're in the process of getting money back from the credit card company. For what reason? Did you mean getting money back from escrow or something?
But this cane seems like an obvious scammer that was trying to get you to pay first on a trust based trade... Avoid.
Used uniregistry.com and paid with a CC.
I mean the guy was only asking to be paid as family and friends, but it had a funny feel to it. Like he said he wanted to make this much money, I said I would pay over using Uniregistry with CC, he complained about the fee... but the fee still left the balance higher than going first and then he walked on the deal.
He went MIA for days and then responded there was an issue with Godaddy and he'd requested a refund for me. I've not received any refund, but it is the weekend. I'm not worried about getting robbed via CC .
