Yeah, but you can raise a stink with Paypal, and they will halt your account to recoup anything they put a limit up to. In other words, if he uses his Amex, and credits his Paypal Account, Paypal transfers the moolah to my Paypal Account, and I cash it, he can dispute the charge in two weeks, force Paypal to refund his money, and then Paypal freezes my account until I pump X amount back to them to cover their loss. Seen it happen.

I'd use Paypal, just not in a rush like this, and he suggested the escrow direction.

$200 bucks, I would not care, but this, nah, its gotta be a little more solid. I've got the ring insured, so I am protected, but I am really anal on things like this. Its gonna be really hard to explain to State Farm that I shipped the ring out in a sale process, and now claim it stolen.

Deal with Escrow.com The best way to go.

How much feedback does the guy have who wants to buy it?

I ended up spending the day with the guy, but then again he bought lunch.

I got a fake bank check for 4200 last month. SCREWED! Do anything but send him the ring or take a check. WIRE ONLY. NO CASH

I sold my Impala SS on ebay, I met the guy at the airport (not by myself) he drove it, called his bank wired the monies. I called my bank 15 minutes later it was there, I gave him the title and he drove it back to AZ.

If he is wiring the money make sure it is not an ACH. You can back out of a ACH, its alot like a credit card payment. Make sure it is a wire, verify that with your bank.

Best suggestion by far. :cool:

Problem now is you can't always trust cash as good either.

Brian,
I will be in Las Vegas this Friday...if you want, I can take care of the transaction for you and help in anyway. I'm actually proposing to my girlfriend this weekend in vegas.
I personally know enough people on this board that you can trust me 110%--- Ask BG1 and BG2, Too Old, HavasuCig, Cigarette1, Tank, etc...
