If they have a history of selling valuable cards more than a month ago (ie they sold a Jackie Robinson for $4000 in December), then I figure they must have followed through or there would be some evidence in the subsequent posts that things went awry. If you can't find any older history of the member selling successfully on site, I think any honest member would find it reasonable to not request F&F to pay.

THIS!
A dozen mouse clicks can probably give you 98% confidence that the person is (or is not) legit. If that doesn't work, send a PM. Either to Leon, or to someone who they had completed a deal with. I employ this strategy on card-collecting FB groups as well. FB groups make me way more nervous. If I'm interested in something, I search any past transactions and send out as many private messages as I need to to feel better about sending money to a stranger. "Hey how was this transaction?"..."Did they package well?"..."Did they communicate in the time between you sending $$ and the card arriving?"
