Accepting money via paypal, then they collect the goods in person

[Lethagized]

Is there any way they could scam me?

There was a thread about this recently, a guy lost £300 I think.

Why not cash on collection?

 

[jamoor]

yes
they could pretend they didnt recieve the goods, what evidence will you then have?

Yes. Could be a hacked paypal account. Then paypal freeze the monies to you.

If they're going to collect, get cash.

Get cash. no proof they got the item. So easy scam.

Variation of an old scam done with credit cards. If they can drive, they can bring cash.

yea, they could even go home and said they never received the goods and you lose your money, cash in hand only or cheques which clear before collection
