Right this is the first time I've ever sold anything on ebay! Put the ad up this morning and I've already had some interest!

Someone offered me $2500 (£1500) :confused: said they'd pick it up after the money had transferred via Paypal however I read a review from someone who sold their car via Paypal to a conman and never got the money back! (plus the police can't do anything about it)

Anything in particular I should look out for? I've noticed there are 5 people watching the car too

My car for sale

Thanks

If I had no other option I'd only take a deposit by Paypal. The balance would have to be cash, bank transfer or cheque which has to clear before the car's released.

When we got my car (off eBay) we gave them £100 deposit when we went to see it, so say you'll take a deposit via PayPal or on viewing and then have the rest cash on collection.

probably a scammer trying to get you because it's the first thing you've sold.
