how are you supposed to receive the money on Craigslist?


Question Posted Tuesday July 7 2009, 12:24 am

i'm selling a few items on Craigslist, the problem is, how exactly do you receive the money? Do you give your address, and they send a check in the mail? I was thinking to do it that way, but I'm not sure if thats what even what you're supposed to do . .

Usually you meet up and exchange items for cash.

I've got a mattress, a TV, a chair, used to have some video games and a futon, etc. All gotten off craigslist, I either went and got them or paid them to bring them to me.

Like the last answer, Craiglist transactions are done in person locally. Don't buy from other cities; transactions like that should be done on eBay or some other medium where there is a second party to ensure the money gets there. Try to get the money in cash or money order. Checks can bounce and it may be impossible to find the person again (or they'll probably just ignore you.)

When I bought something, I went to their house and picked it up, giving them cash. Then again, I bought furniture, so I kind of had to. If what you are selling is small, you can either have them come get it or you can meet somewhere. At your age, I'd suggest not going alone.

For the most part, transactions on Craigslist are done in person. That way neither person can rip the other off.
