Craigslist is a huge haven for thieves, scams and crooks. I tried to purchase several different cargo trailers but each time it ended in an attempted scam. Once you have given your personal information and shipping address and acknowledge that you wish to purchase the trailer, car, etc, you will receive a reply email stating that you will receive an eBay Buyer Protection agreement. It will state in the agreement that you must pay the purchase price only in ecards and that the price is non-negotiable. The agreement also states ecard amounts will be deposited into an escrow account until you have approved and accepted the item within 7 days of delivery. FIRST LIE... ebay has no affiliation at all with Craigslist, SECOND LIE. Ebay does not have an escrow account, THIRD LIE eBay does not have a secure warehouse where the item is being held until delivery within 3 days of purchase. FOURTH LIEeBay does not provide handling and shipping of any items. Most people in this scam will tell you they have just gone through a divorce, shipping out in the military within 2 weeks, or only used the item a few times. BUYER BEWARE! RULES TO FOLLOW WITH CRAIGSLIST. 1. Always buy local with only the seller. 2. Never send money or any form of payment before the transaction. 3. Anything with eBay has NOTHING to do with Craigslist.
