Person on craigslist wants to buy my truck. He says he is at sea and wants to send the money to a PayPal account and have someone pick up the truck for him. This is my first time using craigslist.

Face to face and only cash.  No personal check, no bank check, no money order, etc.  Way too many fakes out there.

I was inquiring about a car on CL over a year ago that was selling considerably below Blue Book value, and received a reply from a female soldier, complete with pics of her in uniform. Since she was deployed, all I needed to do was wire funds into her account and a relative of hers in Kansas would ship me the car.

Tell the buyer to have the someone picking up the truck bring the cash money.

I only used CL once. Years ago to sell a guitar amp head, Marshall. I had more scam offers. One guy sent me a company check (company that didn't exist) for twice what I was asking. Said he wanted me to wire him the difference. CL is a haven for hookers, thieves and con-men.

Wait trucks don't float? No wonder I can't get insured to many fishing accidents.

Its a scam, I usually send them on a wild goose chase to pick up the item in the middle of nowhere, and last time I sent em to buffalo police station.

Do not use paypal... Lots of  scams to get their money back after they have the truck

When it comes to craigslist, the only way to sell or buy anything is face-to-face and with cash.  Any type of electronic payment should be avoided 100% of the time.
