Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes


I'm selling a pair of Magnepans on Audiogon and as usual, have had no response. Yesterday, a guy from Argentina (allegedly) contacts me and says he'd like the speakers and gave me an address and phone number of a guy in Miami to ship them to and he'll forward them on to the end buyer.

At first glance, this doesn't pass the smell test. However, he did give me a phone number, which I may call later today. The other issue I have is that I have little to no experience with PayPal. How hard is it to defraud PayPal and leave me without my  money and the lose of my speakers?

i've always wondered about transactions using paypal f@f. why do they let you do that-they make no money!

Friends and Family is intended for what it says. If you use it for buying/selling things then you are violating the terms you agreed to when you signed up and  basically cheating them out of what you owe them. Otherwise known as fraud. Sometimes called stealing.  I know many will rationalize why that isn't wrong, but it is wrong
