    Hello,

    I am making a purchase off of craigslist and it seems like the guy or person is a little shady.

    I'm most likely not going to make the purchase since I feel that way, but the offer if fair so idk.

    I've heard of a lot of paypal scams going on and I was wondering if there was a way to check the credibility of a person paypal ID.

    If not the Id than is there another way to check?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mark

    I dont think there is a way to check credibility of a paypal userid.
    you can read the feedbacks of the seller on the sites, if they are available

    They are no more supporting feedbacks feature (points) so no more option available to check credibility IMO :rolleyes:

    Just Try googling the guys PayPal ID and if he was stupid enough to scam someone & not change his ID you might get lucky and someone posted it online.
