purchaser cannot make payment via Paypal

[sotos24012009]

I have accepted an offer from a Purchaser in the USA who wishes to buy my item (I am located in Australia). They wish to send the item to their niece in QLD. They say they are getting an error when they try to make a payment and they want me to email them my paypal email (this has raised red flags).

I wouldn't think there would be an issue paying by paypal - correct?

I never had any problem, but occasionally people have come here saying that they were unable to check out using PayPal, most recently on the 31st of October.

So it is possible, but apart from all other considerations raising red flags, giving the buyer your email address could get you in trouble with eBay.

There are many other payment options at checkout anyway.
