Hey guys, I just got an offer to buy my Honda for far more than its worth ( lets just say that I laughed and spat my coffee out ) but was told that they can only pay by Paypal ..... i dont belive its legit , but i cant see the angle .. i know someone out there can tell me . cheers .
btw , if its fair dink then drinks on me at Philip Is
take the paypall once its in ur bank let him have it
Email the bloke and get him to ring you and sus him out, if he doesn't ring or comes up with an excuse that he can't, tell him to go fuck himself.
Hi FLSTC
yep , there was a warn a couple of years ago about just such a thing( offering more than the item worth )
I be very cautious
They can use stolen credit card details to set up paypal accounts, pay for the thing , then on sell it to wash the money
Now, I don't know if they can reclaim the payment from you, but I would be carefull
this was being pulled on cars ,bikes, and boats before about three years ago

Hi thanks for mailing back, i am an oceanographer and i am buying this bike for my dad, i am at sea right now, and I am glad you accepted my offer.I can only pay through paypal at the moment as i dont have access to my bank account online,but i have it attached to my paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all i will need is your paypal email address or better still you send me a pay pal money request to make the payments asap. i will be expecting your email.I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted
Have a look at his feedback and history
If he has been on ebay for a while with a solid feedback rating or is he just signed up
