Just got that message from Freddy this morning. Didn't care too much about the car, just wondering if I'd take a cashiers check. I replied to him, telling him sure, 10 days to wait and see if the cashiers check was good and it could only be written for the amount for the car not a penny more. If he agreed to this I'd send him more info on the car. No response.

Anyone who spells check "cheque" is suspect. I'm quite serious. 10 days isn't enough time to protect you from fraud. It's a good start but just because your bank takes it and it doesn't "bounce" in 10 days you are the one that loses if in 21 days your account is debited for the rest.
Make him use paypal if you must use a wire transfer. This makes him open up his financial records and insures all transactions with a credit card (big credit card in this case) I'd still make him fund you at least 21 days before he took your car.
Good Luck,

I've been through this before. I hope you don't think I actually think this guy was serious about my car and I would accept anything from him. The plan for these homers is to send you a cashiers check for larger than the amount, you cash it send them the extra and they couldn't care less about the car. It happened to a coworker of mine on his Harley. He did accept the check which came FedEx and he took it to his bank and deposited it and even told them he was suspicious. They told him it was a good check. He waited an additional 4 days. That last day the bank called and said the check was fraud. I would never sell to anyone overseas.

I only take Paypal for deposit, then wire transfer or cashier check along with bank
references that I can look up in 411 and then verify the funds. You must be very very carefull. Most real people do not mind and will give you the name of there banker.

CASHIERS CHECK
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SOLD TWO ROLEX WATCHES ON EBAY. UPS DELIVERED THEM TO THE BUYER IN NY STATE AND PICKED UP A CASHIERS CHECK FOR $14,000. THE CHECK WAS BAD.

I rather hate to tell you this, but there are 60+million of us here in the UK for whom "cheque" is the proper and preferred spelling. A "check" is a written tick one puts in a box.
Mind you, I am not sure what the Fr*nch spelling is.......
If it is also "cheque", I will allow your point to stand.

Unfortunately - PayPal can be and has been duped with bogus funds.
I think that the only sure way of getting funds these days is either cold-hard-cash or Wire Transfer from bank to bank.
