Advice Needed: Accepting bids from buyers on Flippa

by cluelesswizard

Hi,
I'm selling my first android app on Flippa. I already have one bid from an buyer with good feedback.

I have an additional buyer from India (3 transactions - total of $12k), everything (identity, credit card, linkedin) verified except for funds. He has no picture and he said he doesn't have a Linkedin link.

I'd like to accept his bid to drive up the bid count, but what's the advice on accepting bidders offers (doesn't seem like a ton written about this online)? In the worse case scenario, what scam could a buyer be running? Stealing the code when things are sent to Escrow?

Thanks!

    but once they go through escrow then he/she has what they paid for and you have the money, what is to steal

      Exactly. So I'm not sure what's to lose by allowing everyone to bid if funds are protected by escrow...is there a scam angle I'm missing?

    No scam angle here I can think of. That's why I love Escrow, it's so safe! I think the fact his identity and credit card are verified are the main things to consider the buyer is legit. Plus he has other transactions in his history. All good signs

    Agree with other members. If everything is verified, I think, you have nothing to worry about. Again, he has 3 transactions $12k total - does not seem to be any sort of scam Plus escrow... I'm pretty sure it's safe.
