    Hey, wait a minute! Buyer lady was afraid the seller lady would turn out to be a lad, so she sent a lad in her place? What did she think would happen if seller lady actually showed up and got jump-scared by this buyer lad instead? She’s lucky both these lads got along, because either of them could have decided to call off the deal and go home when they saw the terms were violated.

      Having sold a few things online, it’s fairly common for one person to chat online and another to have over/receive the money. The person chatting is the person who is most interested in the item; the person handing over is the person who has the time on the day.

      I would assume that neither seller or buyer specified gender for the trade. I also don’t think that having another gender than expected counts as violation of terms.

      Because she knew she could trust this man, she didn’t know if she could trust the stranger. She was minimizing chance of harm… Her husband isn’t going to harm the seller, that’s her bet that she knows better than whether the seller will harm her.

      Could be they didn’t know who was selling it. I’ve done some anonymous stuff like that, where I just showed up without knowing who was there to give the thing. Or if they saw a dude there they just asked about it instead of going full on abort mission abort mission lol
