Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes


I'm selling a pair of Magnepans on Audiogon and as usual, have had no response. Yesterday, a guy from Argentina (allegedly) contacts me and says he'd like the speakers and gave me an address and phone number of a guy in Miami to ship them to and he'll forward them on to the end buyer.

At first glance, this doesn't pass the smell test. However, he did give me a phone number, which I may call later today. The other issue I have is that I have little to no experience with PayPal. How hard is it to defraud PayPal and leave me without my  money and the lose of my speakers?

Flip the tables. Ask the buyer to pay using Friends and Family. That way you have the money he has no recourse and the only burden is on you to ship to wherever he wants.

It's a scam! I have been thru this scenario twice before on ebay and elsewhere and got screwed don't do it!!

I wouldn’t do it, but MC has a good idea with using PP Friends and Family. 
All the best.
