Selling Car Overseas??????

[Jetlaag]

I have just sold my cobra on e-bay to a gentleman who lives in Rome, Italy.

I am curious if anyone has done a transaction like this before.

I just got off the phone with Paypal and they are going to charge 3.9% of the total value just to do the "across the border" transaction. That's Like $1300!!! Too much!

I have checked with my bank unfortunately it is Sunday and all calls are being routed to India. A wire transfer though sounds like the way to go.

So, I guess my questions are:

1. Does anyone know a good way to assure international payment?

2. Title transfer? Does a US title even mean anything in Europe? or do they just need a bill of sale??


I am very cautious of this transaction as I remember reading about some fraudulent cobra puchases a while back on this forum. I think those were from Nigeria or something like that.

Any help would be appreciated....

Thanks,
Jack
