First Timer Seller for my Harley
Jul 30, 2012 02:27 PM

I posted my Harley for sale and a buyer sent me an email and wants to buy the bike without seeing it. He wants to pay by PayPal (which is fine) and wants my home address to setup his shipping agnet to arrange pickup.

 

This just seems to easy and not the way I thought is was going to sell. I thought the buyer would physically want to see the bike and give me cash or certified check, etc.

 

Does this sound legit, what questions should I be asking, any other help anyone can provide me?

 

Thank you.

I don't see where you have a Harley for sale on this site.  If the listing has ended you should stick to the terms in the listing.  I would not take full payment through pay pal.  It could be funded with a stolen credit card or have a charge back.

For sure some thing doesn't sound right on this one.
