M_Six Cream of the Crop  More info | Apr 26, 2015 19:20 | #4 I've seen sellers put their names next to the lens to offer proof they own it. You're saying a buyer wants you to put his name next to it and send him a picture? It could be he needs a picture of a lens with "proof" he owns it so he can set up a scam on another site. Or he could just be worried that maybe you don't actually have the lens. Mark J.

I've seen this many times with other uses. In the past, the day's newspaper or something similar is adequate to know that the picture is not a stock or stolen picture. Think about it, if the picture is taken with his name... how could anybody have had a picture with his name beforehand if the lens was not actually in your possession? I think what you did would be excellent.

I think what you did would be excellent. The typical practice is to take a picture with the sellers name. Not the buyers name. If you provide someone with a picture of a lens with HIS name on it it implies that he is already in possession of it and he is free to advertise it as such to make a fraudulent sale. Sometimes not taking a photograph can be as problematic as taking one. - Alex Webb

Apr 27, 2015 10:08 | #12 Yeah, the guy seems pretty cool. I'm shipping it to his church since he's never home when the mail comes. I am insuring it and getting a signature when it's delivered.I also put as is on the invoice but it practically looks brand new so, he got a great deal on it. Photographer

I was about to reassure you that proof of ownership is fairly common but I would be careful about the church address. If he has had things shipped there before paypal should have it in his account as a verified address. I would not ship if it is not paypal verified. My Humble Gear List

I agree - if I were the seller and the "church" address isn't a paypal verified address, I'd pass on this one.
