Hi all, I could really use some advice if anyone is willing to assist please. I've sold a bike and the buyer made a payment of the full price plus an additional 3000ZAR for shipper pickup charges and I've received an email confirming this but the funds are on hold. Apparently the pickup agent needs to receive the 3000ZAR before a collection can be scheduled and thus the funds are still on hold, this is where it gets fishy, they want me to send the agent 3000ZAR via a Spar money voucher of my own loot before the funds are cleared. 1. Why do I have to pay the agent via Spar and not paypal or EFT? 2. The Shipper fees has already been paid by the buyer, why do I have to pay it again before the funds are cleared for release and then be reimbursed? 3. If i complete verification via PayPal shouldnt they release the funds? This smells like a scam but I am new to this so they may take advantage of my ignorance. Is this a scam and what can I do to determine this indefinitely? Any advice and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanx Regards Arnold
