Looking to learn from the more frequent buyers/sellers here.
I listed a backpack on Facebook Marketplace this afternoon. Within seconds I had what appeared to be an eager purchaser. Then he insisted on bank transfer or “payid”. Without being able to put my finger on it, I got a bad smell straight away. As you’ll see from the attached string I stuck to my guns for cash on collection. The purchaser then disappeared without further comment.
What was the scam here? If I agreed to a bank transfer, how could I have done my dough?
