My husband and I are selling his truck through Craigslist and I recieved an email from a guy who would like to buy it using paypal. We’ve talked back and forth for a good part of the day but even after telling him my husband will only accept cash he still wants us to use paypal since he isn’t local. He says this is the only method that will work for him. I’ve used paypal in the past with ebay and everything was fine but i’m just not sure about this with it being such a hugh item. I’m gonna c&p the email so everyone will see what i’m talking about…
Hello, is the price negotiable or firm? i hope there is no problem
with it?so i will like you to send me general close up pictures?
Thanks (This was the first email he sent)
Hello there,
Thanks for getting back to me at your earliest.i want you to assure me
i will not be disappointed?As I’m buying it as gift for my family to
our new home which we are planing on moving into and no body knows
about the purchase as i want it to be a full surprise. Do you think
its worth a surprise gift? also no shipping involved as i have a
pickup agent that will come for it once you confirm payment has
cleared. Payment will be made via paypal only(if you don’t have an
account, paypal is very easy, safe and secure, log on to
www.paypal.com) since I’m requesting this transaction to be done via
paypal, i will cover all the paypal charges. I’m sorry i will not be
able to come look at it in person as I’m present unavailable due to my
work conditions and paypal is my only payment option as its the only
payment form i can access here. I hope we can make the purchase as
fast as possible?please answer this question
Are you the first owner of it?
Why are you selling it?
When have you been using it?
Do you have a PayPal account?
Hope to read back from you soon…..
Thanks. (This was #2)
Hi,
Thanks for your reply paypal is the best way to send money online and
it is safe and secure, it is very easy to open an account with them
just go to paypal.com and open an account with and Kindly send me
your PayPal money request or simply get back to me with the total cost
of the item and your paypal email ID so that i can proceed with the
payment asap..And i want you to know that you are very much safe as
with them and also i the buyer as well.
Thanks
Regards (this is the newest one)
Thanks everyone, I could really use some input and some knowledge about how to keep this transaction safe. I’m scared to death he’s gonna put the money in there and then try to pull it out once he gets the truck. Also he’s gonna have a guy come get the truck with a pick up service once he’s made payment and it’s processed. Very Leary about this.
Once again thanks for your input!
