Ebay is going nuts.

Okay I am in talks with a car dealer or some crap in SOUTH AFRICA that is going to pay for my gutted CRX to be shipped there. I dont know if I should do it.
I am gonna get a cashiers check for the amount I want plus shipping cost and the guys fee to his client to make the transaction. I made it clear that the car was in less than perfect condition. I am about to put a sold as is thing on the auction to make it clear and to save my ass from getting sued. the link to the auction is in classified ads.

Okay I just looked the guy has no feedback. Thats not good I am not comfortable at all. He created his account the 16th. What should I do?

prolly ditch it, no one is going to buy the car in south africa - the shipping will be a hassle...is it from nigeria? lol - lots of those fake emails come from there tellin ppl to send money

Just wait, you'll find a legitimate buyer in the US down the road

its a scam. the money order they send you will end up being fake. just wait for a normal buyer.

[Santas90Si]

I was thinking the same thing...well see tho if they buy it I will just insist on paypal

DONT DO IT! It is definately a scam. Dateline did a little piece on this a few months back. A "buyer" from annother country contacts you and proposes to buy your car and pay for shipping fees by using a "certified cashiers check". You get the check and cash it, and send the vehicle to its new owner.... problem is: Its phony. You end up being the target of a shrewd con-man.

i dont get it if they send u the CCC and u cash it wouldnt u know right when u cash it if its fake
hold onto the car til u confirm the CCC is authentic, if they say no u will just take the money and run say that ebay protects all its deals and will sue your ass if u try to run with the money. Should be enough security for them to have a multi million dollar corp on their side. If they wont go for its def a scam

if you do it insist on a wire transfer, not paypal (stolen cc), not cashiers checks (fakes), not money order (fakes). a wire transfer for the full amount plus a 100$ handeling fee for the exporting trouble. if the guy is legitimate he will pay how you like and the ammount you want.

just my 2cents

I told him $1400 and he didnt reply so I am not selling it to him someone from Indy is looking at it but they want me to wait on the cash which I cannot do
I want the bidding to begin but no one has put one up yet

I have read several things on forums about this type of thing and it is a scam...Thanks alot you guys.
