I have someone wanting to buy my car on saturday and pay by Paypal.

Is this safe as it is for £9,000. Also will it cost me anything to withdraw etc.

I am not familiar with Paypal so will be using my girlfriends account. Any advise would be appreciated.

Cheers

 

Can of worms.
Huge charges.
Can be charged back at a later date.
Cash...!

 

You would have to be mad to do that.

Even if it was legitimate, I would still want £9,000 cash in hand. Not worth any risk.

 

dont think id let someone pay 9k on paypal, buy the time he`s got your car and got home he can cancel the payment, you try trace him through his "girlfriends" account that no longer is there! I wouldnt trust that fella! cash in £20`s and loads of £50`s id like to see.!

 

i wouldnt risk it either mate although paypal is reasonably safe id want hard cash in m hand!

 

Fuck that mate!!

 

there a bit of a scam thing goin on with it atm, people buy cars and put a note like goods awaited (but they can leave it black too) and day item wasnt delivered and get a free car

no way would i want the fees off 9k too!!

 

what you can do is get payment confirmed when you hand over the documents etc. then he can't dispute having paid.
although the 2% charge to withdraw will hit you.

 

Think i'll leave it and just take cash or nothing.

Cheers for the help!

 

cash or cheque and don't release till payment cleared!

 

cash or cheque

 

Cash or bankers draft, Make sure draft clears before releasing car too...
