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...

nobody buys sight unseen, no inspection or something
its a scam plain and simple
he will pay a 'compatriot' to transport/pickup and you will end up robbed
the paypal acct is possibly fake/scam
he's not going to give up real cash when you might catch on
you haven't sold anything until you have, USA green backs in your hands
I had 3 bidders on this RV, none of which had seen the RV -- just the pics on EBay. One was an RV dealership 250 miles away which has a website & many, many RVs on their lot. So all 3 were willing to buy MY RV sight-unseen.
I know it COULD be a scam, that's why I asked for the surest way to be sure BOTH of us are protected. I checked with my bank today & all he needs is my bank name, routing number, & account number which is on ANY CHECK I write. They don't need me at the bank.
So..... We still are waiting for tomorrow.
I would open a secondary acct with my bank and use that acct. I would not use my normal everyday acct. Would not use a savings acct either. That way if it is a scam they would not drain you. Open the acct with minimum then when the transaction is completed move to another acct and close the secondary acct.
