I've spent the last hour trying to find the thread here about why not to sell a car via paypal but can't find it.
A coworker is selling his truck on craigslist and an out of town buyer has offered him asking price sight unseen. The "buyer" wants to pay by paypal and have the vehicle shipped. I'm trying to convince my buddy that this is 95% likely to be a scam but he still thinks paypal is safe. Can somebody please point me to some good stories about A) how he can/will get ripped off by this B) how he should handle an out of town buyer. I've never sold a car to a shipper, but I've sold engines and each time the buyer paid the shipping company and the guy picking it up gave me cash or certified check, does it work this way for a car too? |
