I had a guy on Ebay wanting to buy my Harley real bad...He emailed me and asked if his Dad could look at it as he was in Daytona Beach. He was in Indiana. I said sure, it's at the Harley Dealer in Ocala having a new rear tire put on and looking it over for me.
His dad went, talked to the service manager, looked at the bike. Then his son called me as I was riding the bike home the next day from the shop. He said I don't want to bid and lose it, I want to click the buy it now price!
But he was afraid of a scam. I still had a lien on it at the local Credit Union!
I had the lady at the credit union call him, gave him a number to call back so he would hear the Credit Union answer the phone and asked for her. She handled it all with him, called me back and told me he just clicked the buy it now, and was going to send $500 PayPal for deposit. he wired the money to the Credit Union, hopped on a plane 4 days later. Had to wait to get the title ready. Picked him up at airport, went to Credit Union, signed title over, took him to my house and away he went! very safe for us both, and best way to handle it!
