Selling on CL and using PayPal
Is this not only possible but also safe and secure?

Just don't use friends and family, that eliminates any recourse. But if both parties agree to it you can make the transfer when you meet to exchange the item. Done it many times.

Normally I just do cash only but I see no reason why you couldn't use PP to receive payments or something like Venmo or Zelle. But I'm still a fan of "bring cash"

Well, cash has always been my preference too, but big bills can be counterfieted. My firm asking price is $850. Anybody want to buy a REALLY nice Ampeg VT-22?

Still here

CL is for local listings where cash is king.
That's the only way to go. |

I bought a 928 s4 carcass with an interior fire. Car was on Craigslist. PayPal 325$ picked it up a few days later. This was approx 8 or 9 years ago.

I sold some bikes on FB, delivered, sent buyer a pic and and buyer paid via paypal. Then paypal put a hold on the funds for 2 week, unless I provided tracking. If the buyer complained during those two weeks, I would have been screwed. From now on it's cash or venmo.

It’s not a smart move for a seller.
Cash and carry. |

The rare times I sell something on CL, cash only. I have bought things and paid with paypal and venmo, never been a problem. Going to Maine tomorrow to get some winter wheels for the Cayenne and will pay with Paypal.

Alright. I'm not going to worry about it. Cash it is.
