    ebay for retards (again)

    reet just shifted my phone on ebay, this is the first thing i've ever sold on it... and i haven't a clue what i do next!! send invoice? anyone? :dunce: :D

    also.. i'm tres suspicous that I'm not going to get any money, the guy who has bought it has (4) positives, and good comments but the bidding went from £195 - £460 in the last 2 minutes.. the phone is brand new and bloody good, but somethings ticking over in my head as to whether this is all legit? or worht that much? am i just being overly paranoid?

    you got paypal account? Get the money from him first, even do a bank transfer so it's in YOUR BANK account - THEN send it.

    Always use paypal - cheques can be a bit ropey. AND with paypal you're covered.

    Don't forget - your fees might be fairly high on something for £460......

    As long as you have the cash - who cares!

    What u find is that popular stuff or stuff that people really want and is trendy at the moment, actually goes for a LOT MORE than what they could buy it for in the shops/online.

    If this buyer falls thru - you can always offer 'second chance' to the person who came second

    don't be so paranoid - YOU'RE doing the selling - you're in control

    pikes right paypal isn't 100% secure there loads of cases documented where people have been fucked over by them.

    The only guaranteed way to be secure is to pay via credit card with perchase insurance on it so you can claim the money back if you get fucked over.

    did your bank not do anything about them leaching money out your account??

    i was thinking you meant more about individual transactions than paypal as a whole...
