PayPal safe?

He wants to have the car picked up with a shipping co.Man I do not know what to do now doesn't sound to safe.
I would just tell him the car doesn't leave until you are seeing a handful of C notes. if they REALLY want it , they will make it happen. if not , someone else will snatch it up. that's my 2 cents worth. I would not take ANY chances if it were me, too many variables and scams out there
