Selling a wedding band to an international buyer instead of a local buyer, more risky?

Question

I listed a wedding band on kijiji (a site similiar to craigs list) and I have to interested buyers. One of them is local and one is international. I am wondering if it would be too much of a risk to sell to the international buyer? They want to pay with Paypal. Could I get scammed? The Kijiji website states it's best to keep transactions local.

Answer 1

PayPal is safe, and has protections in place for both buyers and sellers. Get your payment first, then be sure to ship with a method that will give you a tracking number, so that you have proof it was sent, and where it is in case the buyer tries to have PayPal reverse the transaction because he never received it.

Otherwise it's the buyer more at risk, and this is online classifieds, not eBay, there are less repercussions for a seller. Just use common sense and protect yourself!

Answer 2

If you get your payment for it first ..it is less likly you would have to worry...but if you send it out ......without payment you might not every see it again......sure you can be scammed
