I listed a wedding ring for sale on craigslist and within a day received an email from a lady who is interested. She manages a wholesale business in another state and if she decides to buy it she wants to pay me using Paypal. She hasn't committed to the sale yet and asked some questions about price and wants me to email more pictures. She gave me her name and address, which I verified on dexknows.com. I have only ever used Paypal for ebay, although I know you can use it for other purposes and for selling items other ways. I'm hesitant because I know the safest way to sell on craigslist is to deal locally and in cash. But I know Paypal is secure and her story sounds legitimate. I wouldn't send anything to her until Paypal receives her payment. Has anyone ran into a similar situation and went ahead with the sale?
