Hi All I've read about scams where people have received queries from allegedly potential buyers interested in buying through PayPal but what about sellers asking me to pay through PayPal for a car using the pay after delivery option. Similar circumstances in that the car is in Aberdeen and the seller works on an oil rig. He said PayPal will hold the funds for 7 days in which time he will ship the car to me and I can inspect it. If I don't want it I cancel the transaction and he will have the transport company bring it back. Price is low, seems to good to be true. Emma

There is no paypal buyer protection for any sort of motor vehicle.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Same here - it was for an Audi Rs4
I'm sceptical re the price and the payment method...
