Seller sends you a package with no watch in it (this happened to me through ebay and ebay covered me 100%)
Watch is not authentic and seller says you did it.
You find out watch is not authentic years later and seller out of business or is not responsive.
Thoughts?

You are 100% correct but it's a two way street. Everything above, you must do what you can to weed out the seller is not a scammer.
From the sellers perspective, they need to be doing the same thing. Adding a reversible transfer mechanism adds a whole lot more risk to the transaction for the seller that are very difficult to resolve.
