Got this message from the user "Tolani" about my FS thread. " QUOTE Hello I am interested in buying the Rear Leather Seats that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough. As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a Cashier Cheque. Lastly, please forward to me your full company''s (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities. Yours interestingly, Raymond Griffiths Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your details to me at: texmy005@yahoo.com for a quick reply. - found this same thing on a few forums. http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f21/s...riffiths-21065/ http://www.stuntlife.com/forums/2-stunt-di...-like-scam.html http://mbworld.org/forums/interior-parts/2...scam-alert.html Thanks. --------------------  |

X2^^ Paypal also works against you as a seller if you have a dishonest buyer. You can sell an item to a buyer and get paid through paypal, then the buyer can say he didnt get the item (this can happen within two weeks) Then he can contact paypal and they will give them a refund without even contacting you the seller.
How to protect yourself from this... is easy, you get a delivery confirmation on your item. You can also do a signature confirmation as well its just more expensive, and both cover you either way with paypal. Ask me how I know
