Thanks for the swift response. I'm very much interested in your advert and will like you to get back to me on it's condition and final asking price. I will be requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal,so the PayPal charges is on me. Kindly send me your PayPal email address or send me a money request so that i can proceed with the payment asap as am very busy with my United Nations Missionary project and do not have much time around me.
What do you think?

Very odd email but like mentioned, what can actually go wrong apart from a payment not been sent to you and a sale fallingthrough? It's not like the guy has the keys or even address of you car is it...

your pay pal account gets raped maybe your bank too :wink:

Not mine. :whistle:

I wouldnt do it. It all comes down to the distance selling act. Basically he can buy it without seeing it but if he says he was misconceived by you on condition or anything he can reject it and PayPal will give him his money back. It's either security by him or a scam he can say to PayPal he has returned the car and how will they now so you could be a car and money down.
The best thing for distance selling is a bank transfer, if he has pay pal he must have a bank account. Ask him for a transfer that way he doesn't have a come back or he can't scam you, the money is in your possession And not in an online account. If he is not willing to do a bank transfer (which is free) I think it's a scam.

When I was selling my Audi I was constantly getting emails along the line of
'I'll give you full asking price but I need the car container shipped to Africa for my daughter- payment on delivery'
Yeah right....

This is what I found

Coincidence?

Dw people, alarm bells rang as soon as I saw the emails, just thort I'd post on here, then desided to dig a little deeper, think it would also be good for people to see who are selling up in the future

I got several of these scam emails from supposedly different people, all giving different reasons why they couldn't come and view the car ("buying for my daughter, I'm on a navy ship, etc") but would still be willing to pay the full price via paypal.
The first one looked suspicious, so I did a quick google and found several reports of the scam.
After rejecting the first "offer" I still got more emails the same.
I've only got these when advertising on Autotrader.
I would never accept paypal for a car, even if the person was legit.
