Facebook marketplace update:
Was given a home address for pickup and discussed payment options and the when and how.
Was only about 500 metres out of my way to going home so it was easy.
Seller had the item ready and let me inspect it for any damage when I asked and I paid after I was satisfied with what I saw via Pay ID as discussed.
Have come home now and tested it and itâs working 100%.
Success!!!

Glad that worked out. Sounds like they were genuine as well.
One of the classic marketplace scams when youâre a seller is they say they want to buy, but want you to payid them money and theyâll send the difference back

The sounds weird as a scam and makes no sense.
I have seen the business account PayPal one floating around before as well.
Anyway I was the one buying so thankfully that wasnât an issue. I was more worried about sending the money and they couldnât confirm it.
Anyway Iâm glad it all worked out well.

The classic one when youâre the seller is they say theyâll pay with PayID and their partner will pick it up.
Then they say theyâre having complications with PayID and if you send them $1000 or so, theyâll send the difference back.
I think itâs a failure of the banks for not teaching people how PayID works properly so now it just gets exploited by scammers
