SCAM alert! Be aware when selling things on selling sites  (this has happened to me yesterday on Caravansforsale) if you are contacted by someone who is 'very keen' and wants to buy high value goods particularly. They say they work in circumstances where
they cannot pick up the goods themselves and would like more pictures, they then send more money than the purchase cost and make a 'generous' amount for postage which is to sent through 'Moneygram' You will receive a copy of a paypal receipt (it is bogus)
but when you check your account the money isn't there. They will email saying that there is a techinical issue or problem with paypal, but you can see they have the receipt. So can you pay for the courier they have arranged
as the money will come through. (It won't!). I was led a little way down this path, but was suspicious, (something was not quite right IYKWIM,) and indeed on further checking it really wasn't.

Be careful folks.
