Hi All, I recently listed a living room furniture set and had an inquiry from a gentleman. I specifically said CASH ONLY in the listing but he is requesting paying me through PayPal. He originally asked for my email so he can send me the money and will have a company pick up the furniture. He said he wants more pictures of the furniture as his work schedule isn't allowing him time to come view the set. I explained I wasn't comfortable giving him my email and that I would much prefer CASH. He then said that I could send him an invoice, which seems to be fine but I am so leery of using PayPal. What would you all suggest. I REALLY want to sell this furniture as we are going to be moving BUT I don't want to be dealing with account hacking while trying to move either. Any suggestions? Would sending an invoice be secure. He isn't asking to pick up the furniture before paying me. He will send the money before the furniture is picked up but that doesn't seem right either. Is he willing to trust me to not run with his $$??? I just don't know what to do! Here is his email requesting PayPal info: Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and my form of payment will be through PayPal. Please take the item off Craigslist so no other buyer can ask about it.I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the pick up money will be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable pick up company schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after the payment has been made and confirmed by PayPal. If you don't have an account with PayPal at the moment it is very easy to set up. Visit there site (www.PayPal.com.us) and get it set up. After this is done all i will be needing to make this payment is your PayPal email which you have used for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through. I would have love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame that might not be possible,but if you have the more pics i might want to have a good look. Please do get back to me with your PayPal email so that i can proceed with the payment asap. Regards
