I just started using Craigslist and i put up a drum set for sale and i got a reply(email) from someone saying they are willing to buy it but will pay by money order. They asked for my name and address so they can send me the money order. So i gave them my name and address and they said that once i receive the money order i should inform them so they can come and pick the item up. How do i know if this person is legit? I've heard about scams like this, like even if i receive the money order it can still be fake and when i cash it in the bank will find out and hold me responsible. Has anyone ever used Craigslist and was payed by money order?

Craigslist..

Simple solution is to require cash... I've sold and purchased things via craigslist..Ask them for cash! They bring the money and take it away. Very simple.

Yeah i don't see why they can't do that if your going to pick it up anyways.

WAS IT A FULL SET WITH CYMBALS, STANDS, HI-HATS AND PEDALS? HOW MUCH DID YOU SELL IT FOR, IF I MAY?
-
But if they are sent the Money order already, then go to a bank and cash it in first before you call them.
-
No it was just a beginners drum set.
-
What about Paypal is it worth using that? Can you get scammed?
