Also I do not have a paypal account but it seems ebay will not allow me to state COD only? If someone pays via paypal and I have no account then what?
Last thing is considering the items value is it right I ask anyone who pays via paypal to sign a document on pickup that confirms they have picked up the item and have inspected it to cover myself from false paypal claims? Might sound paranoid but it does happen.
Thanks.
You are required to offer a safe payment method (such as PayPal) if you wish to sell onEbay.
Pick up only items are not afforded PaypAL protection so no one can lodge a claim.
BTW , COD stands for Cash on DELIVERY, better to offer Cash On Pickup.
Simply open a PayPal account & list your items as pick up only.
Please correct me if I am wrong - but have had it happen.
If an item is paid through 'direct bank deposit' - a claim for item not as described etc can be opened through eBay.
Same as PayPal.
Yes Helen, that is the case.
The case is handled in the eBay resolution centre, similar to Paypal, but NOT Paypal - as the buyer could not even open a Paypal resolution if there was no linked financial transaction, as you would be aware.
Has been that way for all my trading time on eBay - several years now.
It is always interesting I find that posters who scrunitise others selling and listing practices - inlcuding stawking facebook etc, are not so forthcoming when queried about their own claims ....
