Hello! I recently purchased this tarantula as a guaranteed female, but I thought I would get a second opinion. I posted about an hour ago but removed my post because I was informed the angle was wrong. Hopefully, this provides a better view. I apologize for the multiple posts; I am new to this forum
Sure looks like a male to me. Unfortunately, Poecilotheria have a tendency to destroy their molts so it may be a challenge to get hold of one to confirm. You might reach out to the seller just to give them a heads up that you have doubts and ask how to proceed.

Thank you so much for your response. That is unfortunate currently ALL my tarantulas are male and I was so excited to have a female. Gender disappointment is real with tarantulas

It is, especially when you're sold a T that is supposed to be female and you find out it's not. Remember that ventral sexing is never 100% accurate so you should confirm by checking a molt if possible, but this one has some pretty obvious male features of you know what you're looking for. Google "epiandrous fusillae examples" and you will probably see what I mean.
