I've sold (and purchased) many items on Ebay. Everything from an end dump trailer, 200HP tractor to gauges. Never had a problem on either end.
CL is a different story. I sold a trencher and was trusting/dumb enough to accept a check. I had the trencher at my house and a parts machine at my farm. We loaded the trencher, then went to the farm and loaded the parts machine. When we were all loaded and tied down. He offered $100 less. I said no we already agreed on the price. So he said he'd have to write a check. That was on a Sunday afternoon. I cashed the check Monday, and by Thur. the funds were removed from my account because had "Stop Payment" on his end.
The saving part on my end is he traded a nice 16' two axle trailer with a title, so I wasn't out too much.
25 year old with wife and child in truck. It became obvious he planned the situation and had probably done it several times as practice!
From then on, all sales are cash. If buyer does not have cash, no reasons or excuses pass. The item says with me.
