What would you expect eBay to say about
paypal,Mike? They own it,don't they? Sorry but
I'll trust my personal banker any day of the week over two entities that have
screwed people numerous times.
It's your money,though.

I'd have to disagree with Clint,
I've used PayPal for a lot of sales (as much as $4,000 per sale) for several
years, and I've never had an issue. And Ebay discourages the use
of cash or cash wire transfers.
I lifted this from their site at http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/payment.html
Important: eBay does not recommend cash or cash wire
transfers as a payment method. If you pay by cash, you do not receive
protection under the eBay Standard Purchase Protection Program. You also do
not retain any proof of your payment, and will have little to no remedy for
transaction problems.
Paying with Pay Pal
-
PayPal is the preferred payment method for most eBay buyers and sellers.
PayPal enables you to send payments quickly and securely online using a
credit card or bank account. However, you should first check that the seller
offers PayPal as a payment method for their listing.
-
When you select PayPal as the payment method, you go to the PayPal site,
where you can send your payment. If you do not already have a PayPal
account, you can sign up for an account. At PayPal, you can choose how you
would like to fund your PayPal payment (for example, using a checking
account, credit card, or PayPal balance) and then send the payment. If you
use PayPal, the seller may require a credit card billing address registered
at PayPal, sometimes called a "confirmed" address.
Advantages
-
Payment is traceable. You can track the status of your payment using My
eBay or your PayPal account.
-
Is immediate and convenient. You pay directly from the item listing page
and payment is deposited directly into the seller's account.
-
Does not require you to use your credit card online (you can transfer
directly from your bank account). Sellers don't see your credit card number
(it is safely encrypted through PayPal's server), which limits the risk of
unauthorized use.
-
Offers PayPal Buyer Protection on qualifying items - up to $1,000 in free
coverage. Additional limited protection is offered through PayPal's Money
Back Guarantee.

Thanks Clint. I think a wire transfer really
makes good sense.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT - Car Sale Question
I wouldn't trust paypal as far as I could
spit,Larry. An electronic wire transfer of funds with your banker
involved in the process is the only way I would proceed. Sold a turbo CBX
Honda to a customer in Western Australia awhile back and that's how I
handled that transaction.
That way,you are both protected.

I have a 1950 Studebaker listed on eBay for
sale. An eBay member contacted me saying he is from Norway, and would
like to bid on the car. He has 40+ positive feedbacks and no negatives,
and is willing to pay for the car through Paypal in full, and will hire
a car transport company to pick up the vehicle once I'm satisfied with
the payment.
I've heard of some scams involving buyers
from overseas. What's your thoughts?
Thanks,
Larry
