This way you still get a great deal and he still gets his $300 or whatever sale price was. Everyone wins.
... but look at it this way. Even if it was an in-person cash transaction and you sold something, who is to say the other person isn't paying with counterfeit money? If a 3rd party system is set up to protect both buyer/seller and offer a dispute/mediation service, always take advantage of that.

I did offer him $300 + 3% in the beginning. That was the first thing I said to him. I always do this for all the Paypal transaction that I do.
He just said he needed $ to send out the package. He said his life took a shitty turn, had to give up his BRZ, had to move to Nebraska from Maryland. He needed quick cash and room at his place, that's why he's selling the exhaust.
So, I believed it and gift him the payment. Call me a dumbass because I know I am.

Yeah, I have always linked my bank account to use on Paypal. |
