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...

I'll send "My transport company" is usually a scam. They will want you to pay the transport company with money they send you which of course will not be any good.
Just remember, you can not be assured of anything (money order) being good for 10 days after deposit.
Just be aware.
I would demand a money transfer into my bank from their bank. Plain and simple or cash. Nothing else
In order to do a money transfer don't you have to give him your account number and or routing number? Does that not make your account vulnerable?
Just askin?
I can give you the web address' of several of my suppliers who post their bank account numbers on their web site so you can order equipment and send the money by wire. I have given my account number to customers overseas so they can do wire transfers and I know that would make people's head spin on this forum. The only negative aspect to me giving out my account info to overseas customers is that our government looks at you from the inside out. But since I'm not hiding anything I really don't worry about that either.
Anyone can put money in your account with your number,without your permission they can't take it out. If it does manage to come out, the bank is liable not you.
