To purchase, you enter your cc info on the website’s checkout page, then the owner sends an email with a shipping quote and a request for the card’s cvc number. It’s the latter part that made things questionable for me. I backed out. Idk. The models in my basket were super rare but I didn’t want to take any chances. I’ve never had to email any of my credit card info to a merchant before. Just seems odd in this day and age.
