PayPal works well...but with anything people can scam...PayPal is pretty secure though. I use it a lot..it does cost you 3% though.if the guy is from Nigeria it's likely a scam though :)

i have done a couple deals like that, they work well paypal is very secure.
contact by phone first, and after that its usually safe, find out her address so you can include it in the " message" when you receive payment.
otherwise if you have any hesitation why not a money order!

i asked if i could contact them by phone first this is thr reply i got.........

" Thanks for the mail..Due to the nature of my work,phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it.

Don't worry about the pick up,my shipping agent will be coming to pick it up.
I'll like you to send me your address so that my shipping agent can figure it out
and come for the pick up and other necessary things....more so,send me your
PayPal details(PayPal email) so i can pay in.

Await your response... "

..... sounds fukky if i can't talk to them i dont want to deal with them..... kijiji has been nothing but annoying lately for me,, they only allow 2 adds, and now im getting scam e-mail the day after i re-post an add,, makes it hard to sell anything,,, :x kijiji must be conspiring against me :lol:
