Thank you for your responses. They have been extremely helpful. I decided to give out my paypal address to see if people were truly interested in purchasing the item. After getting an e-mail from Paypal stating that the money was taken out of the buyers account, I checked my account. The money was not there. However, the buyer wanted me to give them their "buyers agent" fee (which of course they say they included in the purchase). They wanted me to Western Union it and send them confirmation. Then they would continue with the purchase. They even gave me the name and address of the person they're dealing with (the buyers agent). PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. If the money is not in your account, do not give anyone any money! I did not fall for this, and when they asked me about the transaction, I told them the transaction has been cancelled.   In my eyes, why would anyone but you, the buyer, pay for your  fees? You should be paying your own fees! Also, shipping charges and any other charges should NOT be added to the cost of the item.   ... View more

I have been selling some furniture and large items on CraigsList. Some of the responses I get are from people who want my name, address and paypal address so they can send payment. First of all, I can't figure out why people would want to pay for something without first seeing it. Secondly, is this safe? What can happen to my account if I give out this information? ...
