I had placed an ad to sell a camera on a local buy/sell site and this person emailed me expressing interest. We got as far as arranging a time to meet, and then I find out this person is in California (I am in Canada). He/she went on and on about how safe PayPal is and that they would pay for shipping, and kept persisting that they were just away on a business trip (despite having a local California number??). It all seemed fishy to me so I Googled the number and found this site with someone else mentioning a camera purchase. I said I was not comfortable selling something in that method and that I am only willing to sell it in person.
