Seller on Craigslist wants to ship product?

I found an iphone wanted to buy off of the seller which was a local listing. After I contacted the seller he said he had moved to another state and would have to ship the phone to me. He wants to go through PayPal but I'm not sure if I should forget about it or if its safe.

Sounds like you are about to be scammed. I wouldnt do CL unless its local buy/sell.

I wouldn't do it without using an escrow service.

You pay to escrow account. He ships, You receive. If all is good, escrow releases payment to him. Probably not worth the fee for an item of this value.

Typical excuse by a scammer, if you go ahead with this you'll get scammed!

How many times does Craig have to tell you that all shipping schemes on craigslist are scams? Do you really think it doesn't apply to you?

Go ahead, send the money. DO NOT come crying back to us when the phone never shows up. The only way you will learn is the hard way.
