Sign up with GoogleOn the other hand it might well be genuine. She might well be buying it for a friend or relative in SA. Or for export from SA to Norway or some other country.
Nothing stops you from selling your car and receiving payment from Norway.
Of course, as part of the deal, you should~
1. Make it a "voetstoots" sale. That's a legal term.
2. Agree that delivery will only be effected once full payment has been received and cleared into your SA bank account (ie where an attempted PayPal reversal cannot touch it).
3. Find out if the car is to be registered in another person's name in SA.
- If so, that person must have residence status in SA for registration to be transferred. Perform a Notification of Change of Ownership in the usual and prescribed way.
- If for export, ensure the buyer understands she's responsible for all export arrangements and costs, and that you will deliver to her designated agent in SA only when payment has been cleared into you SA bank (ie withdrawn from PayPal).
4. Make the car available for inspection by the buyer's agent, taking appropriate precautions such as proper LOI, ID, etc. Offer/make no warranties or guarantees - it's sold voetstoots.
5. Once you're satisfied and have the money safely out of PayPal, deliver the de-registered vehicle to the buyer's SA agent, probably on the back of a flatbed. Ensure you have copies of all the appropriate documentation, ie sale agreement, agency agreement, IDs of buyer and agent, Reg Cert, De-Reg Cert, etc, etc.
