He'll pay thru Paypal, and after the payment is complete he will pick it up? What's the problem?

Listed a Honda CRV for sale on Craigslist & got very similar responses." I want to buy the car, but I'm out of town. You will not be held responsible for shipping blah blah. Payment through Paypal blah blah." The wording was identical on 2 occasions.

I had a similar kind of thing happen when I went to buy a snowmobile last year.  The woman sent me an email saying she was overseas and that when I pay she will have her friend ship the sled to me free of charge.  When I sent an email back to ask where the sled was located she told me near Montreal.  I then said that I was only a couple of hours away and that I will go and see it that weekend and bring cash.  She sent me an email back and said that it had been sold.  I new it was a scam from the start but I wanted to see how far they would go.
