selling my car abroad, dodgy or not?

**twincam 20** · 13-10-12, 20:48

As some of you may know i'm selling my car iv had loads of offers but notting serious.
I received an email from a guy offering to pay the asking price by paypal and once cleared he will arrange collection and shipping to his country.
So I'm wondering has anyone had any experience with this?

I rang paypal and they said its not advisable because the payment can be reversed and i risk losing out on the cash and the car!
so iv decided against that.

really im looking for anyone elses experience/opinions or options?

The payment can only be reversed if it remains as an electronic sum, if it's transfered from paypal to your bank account and then pull it out in cash it's yours to keep !!
