it is a scam, paypal takes a cut of the money why would someone offer it on a person to person transaction?

simple easy scam, you accept they send you the money through paypal you give them the item, they do a chargeback how th eitem wasn't up to their standards or they never received, they get the item and their money back.

I've done a cl transaction with a interac money order dont think you have those in america :manny:, as well western union

Yeah they did, its even worse now man those fakkits are ruining CL. Ive been trying to sell a iPhone on here for over 2 weeks, its a apple product, and a phone you know these things are always in demand. One time i sold a iPhone in like 10 min on CL. More then half the offers I've gotten have been paypal offers. Some guy was all like can i get it shipped too, like there isnt a site like ebay or something thats devoted to shipping and paypal. :bryan:

One dumbass tried to justify paypal, he's like "yeah i use it all the time" :heh: i ask the dumbfukk to tell me how as a seller taking paypal over cash benefits me, never answered after that. Ill post pics of the convo tmrw

Niiggas is hungry on CL. I saw several news reports talking a bout how people are putting products on CL to bait customers in and when they come to pick up the product they get robbed. :banderas:

Some Chinese niigga got beat for 5 figures when he tried to buy a Lexus. In philly a guy actually got murdered when he went down to buy a dirt bike.

I copped off of CL a couple times. I met some white boy out at a gas station, in the day time, on cameras and shiit. Second time some white chick was giving away her printer and she asked me to meet her at her apartment complex. In hind sight, it was kinda risky but it was on a sunday in the day time so I asked Jesus to take the wheel. :lawd:
