well i listed some things on craigslist and got a few emails back. one of them says their in africa //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif and offered $150 more than what im asking for to have it shipped there. she said she would paypal the money and it would be sent to a confrirmed address.

this is my first time dealing with CL and this seemed a bit strange. im in garner , NC btw. i know shipping internationally is expensive , but hm..

what would joo do?

 
I think all those are scams. I had something like that happen but was wanting to send one of their agents to pick it up or something then give me a MO and have me refund the rest or something.. I would stay away..

 
10000000% scam mane.. Your obviosuly new to the selling online and craigslist. Those are ALL SCAMS. NEVER go through with that shit.
Well, if he actually gets paid BEFORE he ships it, why not? I suspect they are scamming too and would only do it if I had the cold hard cash in hand.

 
ive sold plenty on this forum and a couple others , but this is my first time dealing with CL. i told them i dont want to ship over seas , but they insisted they will cover shipping.

im not in too much of a rush to sell it so its no big deal , just seemed odd.

True, but that will never happen. I wouldnt even give out my papyal info. They can send some fake paypal emails and hack your account and shit. Do NOT give out your paypal email to some fukin scammer. Dont ever respond bro, you will feel like shit after you find out you got ripped.

Ya the forums dont really get stuff like that, but thats craigslist for you. You will get those from time to time. I used to get quite a bit, seemed to have stopped getting so many now tho.

 
I only do cash on craigslist. If i wanted to ship i would try a forum or ebay. . It is not worth it to chance it imo.
I learned that lesson man. Thats how i got ripped. I sent a postal money order and lost 250 bucks. Person was a state over, but like 8 or more hours away. Ive sold and bought other stuff, by shipping with craigslist and only one turned out a scam. Just gotta know for sure you wont be getting ripped off.
