Hello, Am trying to sell my Harley Davidson via Craigslist (amongst other avenues). I have a person that claims they want to buy it ($12,000.00) but: They havent ask for a phone number Hasn't came to see the bike Claims they will handle shipping Told me not to worry about a Title Transfer and Wants to pay with PayPal. How can i fault by going through with it? Today i called PayPal and spoke with a very nice lady that told me that PayPal does not provide buyer protection for Automobiles or Motorcycles. Therefor cannot dispute the transaction? Not sure i understood her totally right, but thats what i got out of the conversation. What should i be demanding from this interested party? I mean, Demand he be verified? While i have been a member of PayPal since it started some 13 years ago... I haven't really ever had the need to take a payment of this size. And i sure dont want to be at any risk of losing my bike, having it demolished and returned, and losing the money, or any combination of the above. Anyone been through something similar and can shed some light on how to get this all accomplished safely? It all seems so fishy to me, but then i thought hey... maybe they have more money than common sense. Shouldn't they be the "worried" party in a deal of this magnitude? Its such a gray area... any help is greatly appreciated. B
