hey guys. first time using gumtree. i'm looking to purchase a rottweiler pup and have made contact with a few people. i'm pretty sure there's no way for me to meet up with them as i don't have a mode of transport. they've suggested i use one of the pet transport services online that can come pick the pup up, bring it to the airport, fly it out to where i am and deliver it. they all seem to only accept bank transfer. after looking online it seems everybody says that's a red flag and it usually doesn't end well. i've come across one bloke who said he uses paypal but i'm not sure if that's any better. seeing as transferring money is my only option i'm not sure what to do.
let's just say if i do end up transferring money, they decide to not send the pup, is there anything i can do about that? any legal action i can take?
I bought my kitten (now a cat) off gumtree, was very dodgy, ended up buying the cat just because I was uncomfortable with him staying with his "owner".
Cat is now awesome with me :)
That's all I have to add to this conversation.
