PayPal Scam?

I have gave up trying to sell anything on craigslist. I get tons of responses all want to buy thru paypal never seeing the item(big items). I just tell them no cash no deal. One guy tried to tell me pay pal is the safest I said no....CASH is the safest. Hey guess what he never sent any cash. NOTHING BUT SCAMMERS!:face-icon-small-fro
 
I was selling two sleds, a quad, and my trailer on ebay several years ago..a dude sends me an email asking how much for everything..package deal. .immediately I was thinking scam.. .but playing along I sent him a price. . next thing I know he used buy it now and made the deposit I asked for. . about a week later he came down from Canada and picked it all up..cash for the rest of it! . .Thanks Danny boy.. ...that was one of those deals that worked out and I've kept in touch with him and we even got together at Cooke last December to ride for a few days..pretty cool. . ..sorry for the hijack but wanted to tell one of the good stories about internet sellin'. ... .
 
That's why when I got the cashiers check from the lady in california I took it in to my bank and had them call to verify it on the spot. They put a hold on it for a day or two to be safe but actually called me the same afternoon I deposited it to say they didn't need to have it on hold after all. The guy at the bank couldn't believe the lady sent me a legit check before any arrangements were made to get the bike. Even he said that if I were dishonest I could easily have cashed the check and never been caught, but I am honest so she got the bike and I bought some goodies for the sled.

Yes cashiers checks are not always a guarantee these days either. there are some more safety features built into them though that most forgers cant replicate. if it isnt cash or a wire, i strongly suggest waiting for any kind of check to clear their bank before giving up your merchandise.
