I have has weird orders before, and have has scammers on here and other places.
I has a similar request some years ago, which was ok - someone wanted one brick,
to pay and get the feedback. I Cannot remember what I did, but I found it wrong
so I probably cancelled

Now this - 0 feedback, but actually ordered a set and something else.

But - what do people here think?

Well, it's odd to purchase a set just for feedback.

Unless it's a rare set that he wants for his collection, in spite of getting
rid of most of his «legos».

Also, what set was it? Is it available in USA?

Seems legit.
If this person places an easy order and pays, why wouldn't you give her a
positive feedback?

They messaged me too, but did not place an order. I thought from the email they
want to place an order get the feedback and not actually pay. Weird they choose
out of the country and a set instead of a small US order.

It is a bit strange. They are a member for 5 months and don't buy anything
in that time. Then ask for feedback and get told they need to buy something.
I would have thought they'd pick a cheap item with domestic postage to keep
costs down and have fast feedback tyrnaround, but instead go for an international
seller. They also contact to ask about feedback rather than just buying. And
coincidentally the seller they pick is a forum user.

If you reply, make it clear what the postage costs are, in case they don't
realise this is an international site.
