When selling a car on eBay I asked for any zero-feedback bidder to
contact me prior to bidding. Of course a bidder immediately ignored
this. He was a (0) bidder in Mexico so I had real doubts about him but
I sent him a message to contact me immediately. He did, sounded
serious, was the high bidder at the end of the auction and within hours
had wired me the full amount.
Always check out and verify, but I can tell you that a LOT of used cars are
purchased, for cash, and taken to Mexico. They are restricted to the border
cities, but with several million Mexicans living near the border, it's still
quite a market. Mexicans are used to saving up and paying cash, so they are
probably smarter than we are...
