eBay/Craigslist Buying through Ebay/craigslist is it safe.

Has anyone used ebay to purchase a tractor and have it shipped. I am seeking a Kubota BX23 or BX 24. In my research I see a lot of sellers stating that they want to use Ebay buyer protection, after posting a listing on craigslist

they are 99.9999999999 % SCAMS....

IMO, you should not buy a tractor you have not visually inspected...

You need to be very savvy with both ebay and craigslist. I have had very good luck with craigslist and have dealt with some very nice people. All in all very positive experiences, both buying and selling. I trust craigslist more because it is more personal. That being said, there are a lot of scams these days and you need to be very careful.

I would never pay for anything to be shipped from craigslist. Face to face only.

Why would any one buy some thing that expensive sight unseen?

Never buy sight unseen. Until you touch it, drive it, and then like it, it is a figment of someone elses imagination. Deal locally - then you have a much better result.

Ebay you need to follow up on seller and have local dealer or ask a local TBN member to check up on it or inspect it for you. Craigslist see it before you buy it's for local sales.
