    $12,000.00 car sale. He sent cashiers check for $14,00.00. I asked " OK to pay shipper cash? He said Cash or paypal OK. Never a call, all email. I replied " This is Michael. My dad had a bad accident on the way to the bank. He is in a comma" Later Michael said check must have been stolen from wrecked car at storage yard. End of emails.

    I've sold several vehicles long distance, using a checking account that I ONLY used for that purpose. Just open an account to receive funds (or send them if you're buying), give the numbers for that account, transfer money out as soon at hits, or transfer in to send. I leave the minimum amount in to keep open. It's an easy, secure way to send money from your bank to the other persons.

    Thank you for sharing this! I have an International buyer at the moment, and we are sorting out payment details. I will look into wise.com. You have used it many times without any issues?
