Has anyone on here ever used the yahoo, buyers and sellers agreement?

Question

I am trying to buy a motorcycle online and this person says this is a safe way for both of us.

Answer 1

You are about to see your money for the last time

The motorcycle you are looking at was on Craigslist, cars.com, kajiji, or some other site.  it was a great deal - priced well below what comparable ones would sell for.  But the reason is that the seller is over seas in the military / has a dead uncle / just got a divorce / or had a job transfer across country.  The bike is a good ways from you, but dont worry.  You should put your money with the Yahoo Finance escrow serrvice.  They will hold the money in an account until the motorcycle arrives.  Once it does,  you will have 5 days to inspect it.  If you are happy, keep the bike and Yahoo will release funds to the sellr.  If not, then refuse the bike, and you will get your money back.  The seller is so confident you will like the bike, that he is willing to pay for shipping TO and FROM you if you do not like it.

This scam has been going on a long time.  People still get taken in by it.  Yahoo does not involve itself as a third party to ANY exchange of money between private parties.

Run away as fast as your little legs will carry you.

Answer 2

Chances are you're about to be scammed.  There is no such agreement.

There is a yahoo finance, but it's informational only.
