Selling an old commuter car, was planning on taking cash but have heard stories recently of very legit looking $ being used to scam sellers.

I rarely use FB much less have ever sold or bought anything on FB before.

TIA

Just have the guy write you a check, you should be fine. Or if he offers to bank transfer you a $1,000 over asking price and only asks you to give him $500 back, you’re good to go!

My wife does this stuff all of the time. Paypal or Venmo at the exchange.

My credit union verified the funds from his credit union. Loan officer notarized the title & that was it

Sold some golf clubs last week, he paid cash. Meet somewhere safe, police stations often have designated areas to meet for online sales. Guy last week I met at a fire station and had a 9mm with me, easy.

I meet at a local chase bank where there are cameras everywhere.

Ask for Venmo, send $1 to Venmo to make sure it’s correct. Proceed.

PayPal is the only one that offers any sort of protection

I would insist on crypto if it’s a large amount so they can’t do a chargeback
