Legit new seller or scam?

AUCTIONS

0 feedback, but he has scans of slabbed legit cards, and he takes paypal and requires insurance and good packaging. Seems legit right? Just making sure that I am not missing a red flag here......

    It is a little weird that a guy would have a zero feedback rating after being an Ebay member for 5 years, but then if you were running a scam why would you pick these cards? I'd think you'd do what the rest of the scammers do, and that's to take a swing at the fences with the a stolen scan of a PSA 8 '53 Mantle or something.

    I think it is OK.

    Keep in mind that PayPal's Buyer Protection Plan has severe
    limitations on sellers' accounts with less than 50 FB. Buyers
    are essentially limited to recover from "seller's existing funds;"
    if none exist, a problem arrises.

    Using a credit card will make it safe.

    The photos appear to be all from the same source.

    The age of the account - and its stale nature - could mean a
    hijacked account.

    If the cards close below $200.00, his insurance charge is
    a technical listing violation, but I think he is not acting in
    bad faith on the issue.

    If I wanted the cards, I would bid on them.
