Good morning folks. I am new to PayPal and online buying and selling. I posted my motorcycle for sale on Craigslist and within hours I had 2 inquiries. At first I was elated that I was selling it so fast but as I started communicating by email with said buyer I started getting wary. He wanted to pay me through PayPal and was going to pay full price without asking any questions about the bike. I was sent emails that had PayPal logos confirming withdrawls from his account but had put a hold on depositing the money into my account until I went to Western Union and paid the transfer agent 600 for transportation costs that would be added to my account once they had verification that the transaction had been done. I then recieved 2 emails from a company called Freight Center who wanted to varify my address so they could pick up the bike. I did some research and the address that the buyer wanted me to send the money to wasnt the transportation company but to a residental place. This all being said we all need to be careful and suspicious when making transactions. There are alot of people out there trying to steal your hard earn money. I did alot of searching on PayPal and read alot of articles which was very helpful to me I suggest reading some of these and report suspicious emails so others dont get scammed. Have a good day
