    I'm still worried about the paypal aspect though and as per an earlier question , no, a bill of sale won't do for paypal as it isn't the sale that they are concerned with it is the delivery. As stated earlier paypal's terms for proving delivery are very narrow, I would link to the correct page but I can't get into paypal at the moment. The anti paypal sites are full of people who have used paypal with no idea at all how to protect themselves and usually start with a scenario like this.

    Please be careful, you may have to risk that neg and refuse paypal if your buyer refuses to pay any other way.

    Add a note that you can't accept paypal unless the buyer is prepared to arrange online trackable delivery. If you are really pressurised the only thing I can suggest is:

    Get a signed receipt for the car, photocopy it and post the photocopy to the buyer using recorded delivery.

    Only way I can think of for trying to satisfy the paypal rules on signed for delivery. Paypal are such a pain, but they don't read any complaints, so a recorded delivery number in the box may be enough to satisfy them that delivery followed their rules.

    [Still think you can cancel bids and then cancel auction BTW.]
