ebay question

[seb]

is it ok for someone to buy something off ebay via buy it now at a price of 35 quid but wants to pay 25 via paypal and brings ten in cash to collect tonight?

what you recon people? quick reply needed as i have the buyer waiting by his pc for my answer!

reason for wanting to split it is cos they only have 25 quid in their paypal account and only have a tenner on them. bit of a lame answer in my opinion. but thoughts please!!!

Be a bit careful, did you know that if your buyer's a bit dodgy and goes into dispute with you that they can withdraw their paypal payment, even if it's cleared your end and you've spent it !

hmmm might just ask for cash then

 

[Fatboy_fat]

safest way, no comebacks

 

[LegoHead]

cash is best, there is no way they could initiate a chargeback then.

One or the other , not split , Sounds like cash is best is this case .

yeah just sent him email saying i want cash on pick up. cheers guys ebay is so stressful!!!

 

[seb]

buyer says he can't do all cash which i think is a bit wierd. ah well

 

[Fatboy_fat]

sounds well dodgy mate

Is he young, where does he live, what are you selling etc. All sorts of things too look at.

Id do it aslong as you have his cash, note his car reg etc, then any come backs you have him.

just checked his feedback, he's got 579, 100% positive ! He does look a fairly safe bet, but if you're unsure, cash is king !

 

[Fatboy_fat]

noy too bad a price for a tv that only shows green pictures either !

 

[seb]

yeah for sure^^^^ its the sale of the f**king century in my opinion. you reckon i should price it a bit higher then?

 

[Fatboy_fat]

If I'd seen it before, I would have slammed a bid in

 

[seb]

still for sale

 

[V1NNY]

did you not get it sorted with him?

 

[seb]

see post 8

nah he couldn't do all cash today and then said he would get back tome basically.

 

[V1NNY]

sounded a questionable that he could ony pay a tenner lol
