Morning!
Has anyone bought unseen before? From anywhere- Ireland, France, Poland, Germany etc?

Hmmm ok. So I feel it’s a genuine advert rather than scam. Response isn’t overwhelmingly to doing it! ?
Yeah, it’s a horse for keeps rather than selling on. I’d sell on if it turned out we didn’t bond or wasn’t for me.If the purchase is supposed to be a horse for keeps, definitely not!

Pay in full before the horse leaves the vendor's yard. Paid by bank transfer, bearing in mind that international payments can take 24 hours to show in the new account. I take the exchange rate into account when I'm buying, and always make sure that the vendor knows which currency I'm negotiating in. I've found Irishmen prefer to negotiate in figures, and then add "sterling" on once we've agreed a price. That has always meant that they would have got more money
For those of you who have done it, what did you do with regards to paying? Did you pay half up front and then half on delivery or through PayPal, credit card or straight up bank transfer?
Any issues with exchange rates etc?
