Do people actually ship items to buyers on Craigs List? In Canada, Kijiji (the only popular online classified system) explicitly says that you should meet with the seller face-to-face. They offer PayPal payments (being owned by eBay), but say something like "Pay with PayPal when you meet with the buyer" or something.



Craigslist has the same warnings - meet to exchange product and payment in person, anyone trying to do it through mail/online is probably a scammer.


Maybe in Eastern Canada. In BC Craigslist is the only viable platform and Kijiji is a ghost town.


Huh, it's the opposite in Ontario. Perhaps I shouldn't extrapolate my experiences to the whole country.


Ditto in Alberta -- Kijiji or bust.
