I'm selling a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes and the seller wanted me to do a private transaction outside of paypal . Is that GOOD idea or she's trying to scam me?
No it is not a good idea at all.
Your post is a little confusing as you say you are selling the shoes & the seller wants to do a private transaction off ebay
Are you buying the shoes? If so, no I would not do the transaction off ebay. If you are selling the shoes, no
I would not do a transaction off ebay.
Correct. I should have included more info. The reason I recommend USPS money orders is that you can take them to the post office where they validate and cash them. You'll know right away if it's genuine, will have the cash in hand and won't have to wait for it to clear. You can ship once you've cashed the check.Also, I believe there are such things as fake money orders so if you do accept a USPS money order make sure to cash it before shipping as well.
oh ok I never knew that, I have to ask her what payment she was asking about, also she lives in canada if that makes a differenceCorrect. I should have included more info.
