is this a craigslist scam? outa state seller (im buying)?
Rule Nos 1,2, 3,4 & 5 - Auto buying & selling online is risky.Ebay is also riddled with Nigerian scam artists etc who do pull scams off, so BE VERY CAREFUL - just becoz its ebay, doesnt mean its all hunky-dory - read the fine print.One thing that troubles me tho - apart from the rest that is - is that the seller will pay for the return for this bike - very suspicious - twice I had to return stuff which cost much less( means less shipping also) and they NEVER paid for return Shipping - even a store never paid for return shipping. I would say this deal is VERY SUSPICIOUS. How much is the shipping & handling, where is it coming from & is there shipping insurance both ways?What about payment - is it paypal or will they send you a mail thru ebay about moner transfer schemes like western union - in that case ebay will not back youe deal - so READ ALL FINE PRINT please.My suggestion, look for a bike nearby which you can try out & inspect before you buy - these too-good-to-be-true deals are exactly that. Dont get scammed!
