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?

OP, the situation would give me pause.  And if you want there's likely a way to conduct the transaction.  I would only consider doing the transaction payment in advance and the buyer pays and provides shipping labels.

The buyer can insure the product and they take ownership prior to shippiing.

@nonoise Thank you for your humor!  I didn't think Shaq ever said 'no'
