So I sold my water pumper Porsche on ebay. Took a deposit via paypal and the buyer is overnighting me a bank check. Can the buyer put a stop on the bank check? Should I overnight the title, as opposed to sending it with the car?

I agree with what has been stated thusfar - I've sold a few cars on the bay, mostly to out of state buyers. Communication is key - talk to the buyer and walk through it together. You MUST wait for that check to clear before you make ANY move. I'd go a step further and see if your bank will verify the funds with the issuing bank even before you deposit it. You cannot be too safe with that stuff - everyone here knows that eBay is chocked full of scammers, some not so bright, some that could fool a CIA agent.

You can do things like scan and email the title to show him that you are legit. Just be safe - you'd be surprised the shit that can happen - even when you think that you're thinking smart and covering all of your bases. I've heard some horror stories, and once you fall in, it's hard to come out unscathed.

Let us know how that works out. I see that the buyer has zero feedback, and just joined ebay a few days ago - I'd be cautious. You didn't specify the deposit amount on the auction page - if you don't mind me asking, how much did he send? That can help you reassure yourself if the amount was $500 or more. If it was less, I'd be watching him like a crack whore in a crack store, or crack shoppe, or whatever they call those places.
