Cautious about this Craigslist offer...Help?

he is a story for you I was told 4-5 years ago, assume true. town over 20 mi or so, guy bought the old car dealership in that very small town, he restores gm stuff in spare time. he sold a car on feeebay, for like $10000, guy send $1000 deposit, he is from Mi or Wisc. the guy comes down looks over car and says its not what he hoped. he hoped to have bought a $25000 car for $10000 was the thing. he was an obviuous flipper. guy says, just keep my deposit, sent thru paypal, if that's cool?? he says o k, ( nothin else to really do)...

the $1000 was transferred to the sellers bank account. day later it is gone back to paypal!!!! the buyers account! all the buyer has to do is tell paypal the car is misrepresented, broken, whatever..... nd he wants his deposit back!!! I guess his story was accurate.

I have sold a few cars thru feebay back before the depression of '08, never had any problem, but sold to honest people also!!!!!

I know some people keep a separate back account just for feebay, just to be safe. I would trust CL bout as far as I can throw that chubby governor of NJ !!????
