Hello ALL,

I am new here and it's a great site for resources.

I just wanted some help on how to get a smooth transaction without getting scammed on my sale. I'm selling my DateJust and I have a few buyers on CraigsList, but they are out of town. I dont want to get taken and i hear alot of stories like that. Please help me with the best way possible on dealing with this.

I'm a paypal verified if that helps any.

Thanks all, good day.

Please be VERY careful!!! There are some many scams out there and specially on Craigslist.

WIRE and wire only unless you personally know them. Yes, it will reduce the number of people interested, but it will also reduce the ripoff scenario.

wire transfer only! there are a number of scammers that will actually deposit money to your paypal account but will decline it after the fact. paypal will come back to you- youre out the money and the watch! remember, craigslist listings are city specific. its fairly uncommon to find a craigslist buyer from more than a few hundred miles away!

Thank you, i will do just that.

if i go through paypal and wait for the money to go through my personal bank, could i still get scammed?

Just know that if you have a problem and you have to wait for Paypal to take care of it, you're going to be old and grey before they take action on your behalf. Plus, you gotta pay them 2.9 percent. Craigslist can be good, and I'm looking on there for concert tix right now, but if there was a site like this where I could list it for free and know that the majority of people are straight up I wouldn't look elsewhere.

yeah, if they claim, the watch is fake or make a complaint they can be refunded and your paypal account will be negative that amount. paypal will then get a debt recovery company on to you.

wire transfer and bank transfer
