Am I the crazy one?, by hal9001 on Jan 19, 2011 22:33:30 GMT 1, It seems like a win win meeting face to face! Have you ever been ripped off in person moreso than online through the mail?

Am I the crazy one?, by Brushstrokes 75 on Jan 19, 2011 23:32:33 GMT 1, It depends on how big you are.
But I'd rather do a paypal payment and receiving in the mail (Depending as well on the value of what you're buying/selling).
A friend of mine got mugged while selling his macbook on the bay. 4 guys jumped him and took him his laptop.
My brother got conned with an ebay and paypal transaction for his ipod I think. The guy paid through paypal and asked if he could meet in person, 2 days later paypal reported that the credit card was stolen and asked my brother for the tracking number that he couldn't provide!
So I'd say paypal with mail or cash face to face.
Both have advantages and inconvenients but it's pretty much the same. Either way you can get robbed!

Apparently not.

Maybe he was trying to mug/con you lol
Then you're not crazy!
