I've only sold one thing on Craigslist before, and only had one scam attempt.
But I told a friend (who is no longer local) that I'd help him sell his canoe. So here I am, back on Craigslist. And I'm trying Ebay.
First, you should SEE this canoe. It's a handmade wooden canoe, and sells for over $5500. It's a work of art. I can show a couple of pictures:
And of course, a high ticket price of $3700 is reasonable for such a work of art. But it seemed to bring out a scam attempt (Craigslist) in just a couple of minutes!
My question is this- the "busy businessman will have his private mover pick up the piece" and he suggested paying me with Paypal. Now, I get how you can scam with a bad check or counterfeit money order- but how does a scam work with Paypal?
