try putting their email address into www.rapleaf.com - sometimes gets you a bit of info about them but if it doesnt it by no means says they are a scammer

Does anybody know how secure paypal is outside of Ebay? I have just put a boat up for sale on Apolloduck and I have been contacted by a guy in latvia (his email address is from a Latvian Hualage firm) saying he is interested in buying my boat and will pay via paypal. Anybody else had any experience of this? |

This is without a doubt a scam. First he will pay you, then he will withdraw the funds from you and make a claim do what ever. The only way I would trade this is to pay in cash and see the person I am purchasing it from. Edited by radixon |

My understanding was that it is difficult to withdraw funds on Paypal as the buyer makes a deposit of funds to paypal then Paypal pays the buyer and takes a cut from the buyer for the transaction. I have already told the guy that I would only accept cash, but I had not heard of a scam involving Paypal, hence the question

Buyer pays via Paypal and collects goods then disputes payment (says he didn't make this deal) - Paypal then refunds buyer and withdraws the money from the sellers paypal account. As you have a credit card or bank account linked to your Paypal account they take the money from there. You are left without boat or money attempting to get the cash back from Paypal who are registered overseas and are hopeless in this situation - I know..... Be warned!
