Hi. I am new to this, so looking for some expertise. I am selling an expensive ( 2,500.) item. A large/heavy dining table and 8 chairs. This 'buyer' wants to pay by PayPal because it's 'safe' and then his 'shipper' will pick up the item. (this not on e-bay, BTW) To make it even MORE unbelievable, he says he is in the UK .. and I am in Canada. Now, I know this makes no sense, no way would anyone buy my item for that price without checking it out. What I don't understand, is where is the scam? I know he isn't going to actually pick up this item, so it's not about 'getting something for free' -- so how does this scam work for him? I don't get it ... any experienced folk out there can explain this to me?
