1. Don't use paypal for a car as you will have no seller protection.
2. Its probably THIS scam >>
They encourage you to use paypal and often accept your price and offer to pay shipping as they are either unable to collect / disabled / buying it for a relative or working offshore or in the military.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
If the item requires shipping the 'fake' paypal email will tell you that the buyer has paid for the item + shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier via western union / moneygram BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the car, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.
They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg moneygram or western union.
Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any type of motor vehicle.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
