First email (sent from Autotrader):
Hi, I found your listing on autoTRADER.ca and would like to know more about the vehicle. Please send me more information about the 1981 Honda CB750 Custom. Thank you.
I respond back with some particulars and get this response:
I'm satisfied with the details provided on the Ad. So just let me know your best price
So, I come up with a price with extra parts but no riding gear and get this email:
Alright,i think the price is fair enough, so just send me your paypal email so that i can make the payment
I am happy to hold the bike with a Paypal deposit until they come and see the bike but Paypal takes a % hit off of the seller and nowadays Paypal will refund money with little provocation. Who would pay out for a bike they have not even seen?
Is this a scam or just a weird interaction?
