I sold a outboard motor (in good working condition) and confirmed the buyer got it. He told me he was going to use it that day. one week later he says the motor had problems and he had taken it to a dealer for repair. The dealer said it was going to cost more than the motor was worth and he sent details to PayPal who then held funds on my account. I responded the motor was good when I sent it. Paypal ruled in his favor and the motor was returned to me ( in a NEW Mercury box) he must have bought a new one. The prop had hit something ( I think a stump) and broke a few parts. It cost me $100 to have it repaired. Be careful of accepting Paypal for something they may tear up within 45 days. Paypal is ALWAYS on the payers side.
