Ebay and Paypal question

(1/3) > >>

Ashley g:
Just after a bit of advice if possible? I've just sold my old phone on ebay. The guy who won the auction has contacted me asking if he can pay slightly less than the sold price with paypal but as goods to save us both some money on fees? Not sure what to do. I'm still going to have to pay the 10% to ebay. Doing it his way is financially better for both of us but where would I stand with regards to being covered etc? He's got good feedback etc but doesn't speak too good english so I find some of his messages hard to understand!
Any advice much appreciated.

TIA

I would stick to the proper way of him paying. I had something like this a long time ago and the buyer never spoke good English and had good feedback. He later reported an issue with the product and returned an empty box to me!  Ebay couldn't do anything so had to claim through action fraud.

Stick to ebay rules. The extra protection is worth the extra cost.

It's full of scammers, and the 'best' ones find ways round bad feedback.

Keep to the rules alsorts of scams going on.

Also keep receipts of postage for 6 months. As they can claim if they pay using a credit card then claim via the credit card even if its through paypal. Happend to me and even though i had tracking number and proof they signed they said i needed the receipt as proof. Apparently paypal can't do a thing if they claim through the credit card company.

Asking to do this sort of deal after the auction has ended.... I smell a great big fat Rat !!! Tell him no if he doesn't like it report it along with the email traffic showing what he has requested. All you will be saving are the paypal fees... Is it worth it.

I personally don't use Ebay for high value items anymore i use local facebook selling groups much better to deliver and take payment.
