New Price:
$3000,-

Payment through FF or Bankwire. Additional fees and shipping cost will be covered by the buyer

No offense...and I don't mean to hijack your thread, but this is for new art buyers out there. Making payments through wire transfer or "friends and family" are not protected. Sellers will say they are or have mechanisms to protect the buyer, but they don't. Offer to pay the seller the 3% or so that it costs PayPal to use the "business" and not "friends and family" option. See how many say no to that offer.

Also note that bank transfer apps like Zelle also do not protect you. When I see in sales threads that only wire or bank transfers are accepted, I am 99.9% sure its a scam. Or when I get in contact to purchase a piece of art and then the seller says wire/bank transfer only. I stop comms at that point.

I am not saying that Cabbii is or is not trustworthy, but any new buyer should note the number of posts on UAA. If you do buy from threads on UAA, I would also recommend asking for references from other UAA members.  This is only to protect new buyers from scammed (again...not saying anything directly about Cabbii).
