alright, so im trying to make some skrill by selling my old laptop on craigslist, and i got a hit. This guy wants to pay me $200 more for my computer than my asking price to ship it to i have no idea where. Now at first im am thinking, DEFINITELY a scam. I email him saying "sorry, local pickup and cash only", and he replys saying that he will paypal me the money before i even ship the computer. This has me thinking, maybe not a scam? This is the reply he sent me when i said only local pickup:
Why?? is it because of the scam online now...i want you to know that i
am a legit buyer and also PayPal
verified member so you have nothing to fear about and also that is why i
said i will send out the payment first before you ship the item,so get
back to me with your PayPal account ID for the payment,waiting
for your reply.
I still have a big gut feeling that this is a scam, but what do you guys think? Is there any way that him sending me the money via paypal before i ship my comp can still be a scam?
