HELP, Someone to bid for me on german ebay

[myrainshadow]

Hekp,

Is there anyone in Germany or Austria who would be willing to place a bid for me on German ebay?  The seller only posts to Austria and Germany and doesn't have paypal.  If someone agrees to bid for me I would be willing to pay my maximum bid into their payapl account and if we win the auction they could pay for the item and on-post it to Australia and if we lose the auction they could refund the money.  I am prepared to cover postage and payapl costs and also pay a service fee for doing this.

Anyone interested?

Many thanks

I would recommend posting your request on the German forum as this is the Australian forum

Well managed to post it on German ebay forum but it has now disappeared so must have been taken down.  Back to square one!

JMO but you are leaving yourself wide open to being scammed & you are effectively offering to give your money away.

Check your emails including spam,as the German mods would have notified you of your post removal IF it was removed.

There are regular boardies on ebay Germany who understand English,you MAY be better off contacting one of them if you insist on attempting to buy whatever the item is.

Just use caution using the German site as a Chinese scammer has being hijacking German accounts and then listing

high priced items via the auction format.

Because German sellers don't have to offer Paypal they can ask for bank deposit which has no buyer protection,(if

you pay a seller via bank deposit you are possibily handing them free money.
