Thank you for the warnings buddy.
Remember all First time transactions and not someone you know or trust, I suggest Best is to video live chat. Then pay them with PayPal good and service, if the cue is less than 3000, you’re only paying few hundreds to provide the peace of mind. That account is such a scammer account, you should have ask for video live chat and ask to see the cue and his face.
Hopefully he didn’t send an empty box or a fake cue or something inside a box to your address on good and service. Then it will be your words against his.
