The decision to part with a car is not always easy. A Mercedes-AMG in particular is much more than just a means of transportation. The first step has been taken and you want to find the optimal solution: this usually includes the most attractive sales price possible and a serious buyer.

You can only achieve a fair sales price by knowing the exact value of your own car. It is made up of the general condition, special equipment and supply and demand on the market. With a professional evaluation you come a lot closer to your ideal solution.

What cannot be expressed and calculated in numbers is the seriousness of a buyer. If you want to take the sales into your own hands, the risk of falling victim to fraudsters is particularly high. But how do criminals manage to keep even cautious salespeople out of their money?

For example, by using security gaps in payment systems. A security gap arises from a function that is actually supposed to guarantee the security of honest buyers: buyer protection, such as PayPal offers as a security feature.

The fraud works as follows: You find a buyer for your Mercedes-AMG. Either he pretends to be an employee of a buying company or a normal private buyer. There is nothing to suggest criminal intent. The conversation and the tour are friendly, and you can quickly agree on the price. As a payment method, the buyer insists on one of the established online payment services, possibly referring to the security for both parties.

PayPal is as secure as any other payment method, in some points even more secure - but fraudsters unscrupulously exploit buyer protection. First you get your money and everything seems like a satisfactory deal. Then comes the rude awakening: the supposed buyer outsmarts the payment service by extremely emotionally and emphatically claiming to have been cheated himself. He didn't get a car for his money and the police were already involved.

Buyer protection provides for the transaction to be reversed as soon as possible. The payment services also want to avoid negative experience reports and in some cases act prematurely in favor of the buyer. It is too late by the time the fraud is noticed. Your money and car have been stolen, the fraudster's gain is double your loss.

The fact that one can hardly imagine how such and many other scams really work, of course, favors the criminal's success rate. Every fraud begins with underestimating the dangers of the unmanageable used car market.
