Question Am I missing something in Selling on eBay

Am I missing something

Dear 2106greencat
Hi I wish to buy this set right now can you please send a payment through to my PayPal account

I received this in eBay messages attached to item buyer wants to purchase. New buyer, do you know what she is asking me? I was going to reply with the standard 'no dear, you pay me' kind of thing, then thought maybe I have missed something.?:|

The buyer may mean an invoice, not a payment.

Just tell the buyer to click Buy It Now if the item has one, or tell them to bid.

Hi Cat,

I'd normally say no also, but she has contacted you and sounds keen to buy. It's a BIN item and not an auction item where you may be in a hurry to get rid of it. I'd let her know your payment terms and would let her know I would unblock her on this occasion (in good faith). The worst thing that can happen is she doesn't pay! Then down the road of an unpaid item case. The upside is you get another sale and move on. I'd try my luck, but that's me! Good luck with whatever you do and go with your gut instincts, hopefully the tones of her email/replys give you some indication, on how geniune she is. 🙂 Also check her feedback!
