Long story short, I found something on Naples Craigslist, contacted the seller, he thinks that I'm trying to scam him and isn't willing ship the stuff to me.

I am in Houston, Texas and too far to go to Naples, therefore I'm trying to find someone near Naples that can help me buy the item and ship it to me. I will pay for the item, shipping, and extra for your time and trouble of course.

If anyone could help me out, please PM me.

Thanks a lot

So your first message on citydata is soliciting the help of a complete stranger?

Well, I know it's not the best way to start, but I thought it's worth a shot

Okay, so you offered to pay via pay pal or what? And he still refuses?

He thought I was a scammer the second he heard the word shipping, and I even offered to pay him through Chase QuickPay or BOA Transfer, which in my knowledge is very safe for sellers.

That's why I'm trying to find someone in Naples area to help me.

Craigslist isn't Ebay.....most sellers wont' ship. Can't blame them, too many online scammers out there.

Offer to pay for the item (and shipping) up front and see if he will ship it.

I don't blame him for not willing to ship it, since CL is full of scammers.
I did offer to pay for the item and shipping with Chase QuickPay or BOA Transfer, but he thinks I'm just trying hard to scam him lol.

It's a novelty camera that I'm trying to get for my girlfriend. Not really expensive(he's selling it for 100) but kind of hard to find.

Have him stick it on ebay and list it as buy now. Throw him $125 plus shipping for the hassle.
