[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 380077, member: 4264"] I use that method of payment online for purchases and even to send money to a family member who isn't local and doesn't have a canadian account at a bank. It is a legitimate way to send funds and receiving it is risk free in terms of it isn't a cheque that can bounce etc. However, it is VERY odd and really I can't think of a single valid reason, to need or want to use paypal to pay for something local that is being picked up. I mean, cash exchanged up on purchase and pick up makes sense, not much else does?!?! The only thing I can think of is this person has funds in a PP account but does not have a local bank account to withdrawl the money out of PP and into in order to convert to cash. I have sold stuff from online games on FB for PP from anonymous players without a problem. However I do have my PP linked to my account so I can withdraw it to cash. The only reason I can see to want to pay with PP is as I said, they ahve money in paypal from something/someone but no account to ge tit out so figure they can use it to purchase from you. If that is the case, they should have told you this to help explain why the asked if they could pay this way. There are so many scams going on, I wonder if there is something they are trying to pull over your eyes here. I would say no way at all, sorry. I can't see how it could be one but I'm not all knowing either lol. Better to be safe than sorry for sure [/QUOTE]
