Payfast account experience.

Has anyone bought or sold a vehicle using this facility?

I have a buyer lined up for a sale but since he apparently works offshore on an oil rig, he's asked me to set up a Payfast account for the payment.

Is Payfast foolproof and to be trusted or not?

Sheeting is white and the cut ends will be slid in under an existing IBR roof with a 50mm overlap so colour of treatment is not an issue.
