Another variation is the seller is paid via Paypal for the goods, the goods are delivered, the purchaser then demands and gets a refund from the sellers Paypal account. The seller then has no goods or money with the purchaser having everything.

Generally the goods are not collected, they are delivered at the sellers expense, usually overseas.

This is quite common in Australia for larger items, eg cars, caravans, boats, etc.

It pays to be suspicious and turn the sale down if ANYTHING is out of the ordinary.
