The buyers are a family with their 16 yo son and based on our interaction yesterday it’s very unlikely that they may try to scam me but still i’m trying to be safe here
update: upon asking the buyer to either bring cash today or meet up tomorrow he said tomorrow would be difficult
and when i suggested she could withdraw the cash and meet up whenever that was ber response
“Well I can show you the money is in my account when I give you the check (you should be able to cash it on your phone) or I can send the money through PayPal. I don’t feel comfortable caring that much in cash.”
If i successfully cashed in the check on my phone is there a way she could still pull something?
UPDATE: I told her she can obtain a cashiers check and we can meet up tomorrow at her convenience. If she still argues im calling off the deal.
Update: The buyer agreed to do Apple pay cash. Is there a way she could pull something with it as well?
🔴🔴🔴🔴FINAL UPDATE 🔴🔴🔴:
I asked her to either obtain a cashiers check, do cash, or meet at the bank. and in return offered a 100$ discount. Otherwise the deal is off.
Thank you everyone for the help!
🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢The deal is done (kinda) 🟢🟢🟢🟢
We agreed on meeting tomorrow and she’ll obtain a cashiers check. I know that cashiers check could still be faked but if that was the case she would’ve accepted this option earlier instead of finding an alternative. that’s how i know she’s not trying to pull anything!
Thank you again everyone for the great insight!
