Need Advice on Sale

Post by Wolfman213 »

I listed all my PS3 games on cragslist. Around 10 games plus the Rock Band kit and 2 guitars for Guitar Hero. I am asking 250 obo. Well, I received a text this morning asking about it and if it was still available. This person wants the whole lot, but he is from WA, whereas I'm from IN. Normally this is an immediate red flag to me, but he is wanting to do the transaction via PayPal. That to me is the safe haven.Now the issue I question, he is wanting me to send him the invoice. Are there any scams associated in this nature? All the scams I hear are about the money order and cashier's check. I know there are some PayPal scams, but more based on please send me this and I will send you more type of thing. Should I be worried or since this will be through PayPal, just proceed with the transaction?Any help would be greatly appreciated as I normally sale things on ebay rather than craigslist so I'm a little leery.

Both sellers and buyers take a risk when doing business on Craigslist. Why not arrange to list these items on eBay - he can buy them on eBay and pay via paypal - then you both are protected.

Great idea!!! And it worked too as he couldn't give a clear answer as to why he didn't want to. Then pulled the whole, ship and give me the tracking number and I'll clear the funds bit. Oh well. I'll keep that in mind for future reference about putting it on ebay!! Thanks!!
