Selling a car, what payments to accept.

no real need to wait for days now to withdraw paypal cash nowadays.costs a fiver for fast withdrawel(sometimes gets to your bank in a few hours),if the bloke is genuine he won't mind.There is also the paypal access card

problem is if they say there is a problem and kick off, it will put the account into minus or hold the money.

I still reckon £1 coins in big bags the best method

Trouble comes when they file a dispute afterwards and Paypal withdraws the money from your account leaving you with a negative balance. You won't be able to use your account again unless you deposit the balance and if you don't Paypal will hassle you for 18 months with letters, emails and phone calls which include calls where they tell your family members all about the money you owe them! Oh and don't forget the threatening solicitor's letters from numerous different firms that will start appearing on a weekly basis threatening court action and massive interest charges!!

BTDT But they never got their money from me!

You misunderstood what i wrote mate,what I am saying is that if the bloke really has the cash in his paypal acount and really wants the car he won't mind waiting for a few hours for the faster withdrawal(to his own account).

Fake money!? The money you have in the bank or cash in your wallet is no different to the stuff thats being forged!
The only difference is that the banks and governments have a 'licence'

If you want something valuable in exchange for your car ask him to bring gold bullions.

Cash or bankers draft.
If bankers draft, go with him to your local branch of his bank and watch it being drawn. That way you know it ain't a fake
