sanchez, Old saying mate, "in God we trust, everybody else pays cash". the person you dealt with had a couple of hundred rep points (when I checked)... not a great deal in the big scheme of things.
This isnt Ebay, and rep points are given by other members for a helpful, informative or funny posts (amongst other things). Not for the number of successful transactions... and are a better indicator of technical knowledge, a sense of humour and good (net) manners.
I am a skeptical sort of person so the rep count would want to be pretty high before I would take thier word (10k plus points)... even then it would have to be someone who I judge to be a decent person through following (and interacting with) thier posts... IE getting to know them.
My rep should be over 2000 (unless I have went and put my foot in my mouth ) , yet I have had not one financial transaction with another member...
Hope it all works out for you.
