Sold an RV-- best way to get paid?
I sold an RV on eBay to a guy in Florida. He has already contacted me & paid the $100 deposit via Paypal. He says he's going to get a transport company to pick it up but we haven't worked out the when...

Red Flags:
1) Who buys an RV sight unseen?
2) He is in Florida but you're in Texas. Sight unseen and several states away. Sure sure!
3) Use of the words "transport company" is pretty suspicious if he used those exact words. Sounds like scammer language!
Use PayPal and be done with it!

I'm not denying what you are saying, BUT...
This same scenario did happen to a coach I was looking at in San Antonio a few years back. I later talked to the PO who did the same bank thing for money transfer as I comment above and everything went smoothly.
I wonder about PayPal, what makes you think it is so safe? There is a time delay between fake money and real money that would make me concerned. A transfer between two banks in the exact same chain and there is no delay in confirmation of funds.
