Good news! Someone's interested in your used YAMAHA YBR-125, and they'd like to hear from you. Here's what they've got to say...

Robert Paul wants to know:

Hello Seller,

Am interested in immediate purchase of your listed bike for sale on. bennetts.co.uk and i would love to know the price you are willing to sell it out. Do you accept PayPal and Local pickup of the bike after the payment as been made, and i would like you to send me some more pics and the current condition, or email direct to [email protected].

Sounds suspect, paypal can be reversed so unless there's cash or bank transfer leave it alone.

I would only accept hard currency for items I'm selling. If somebody is interested then they will do it your way.

Cash on collection only.

Never accept paypal for something that's being collected as they can get paypal to refund the payment as there's no proof of delivery.

Hacked PayPal account, pick up the goods, account owner realises account has been hacked, PayPal refunds. You have no bike and no ponds.

Tell him you'll only accept Western Union. Then throw down a smoke bomb and escape in the confusion.

Use Autotrader and accept cash only. I have sold 2 bikes through them and both went flawlessly.

Autotrader is free, can't get cheaper than that.

This^^^, contact them back - say you want pounds sterling cash if/when they buy the bike. If they agree and you get the monies, jobsagudun. Thumbs Up
