They do? I guess I wasn't away. Either way, 5 years of using PayPal
for purchases and sales, and never have had an issue.

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 Shouse
