A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
To offer some encouragement, I was recently hired at the age of 59 as a car salesman.
Not the most glamorous or prestigious job in the world, but the money is ok
and there are several other old dinosaurs like me on the sales floor.
Maybe now would be an opportunity for the Mrs. to do...
