scuzzie2k Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 risk you have to take mate but you should be covered by ebay policy if he does this! I preferre payin by paypal more secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 it's true... just make sure they don't give you a PO box number and it should be fine if they don't send the item you can report em to ebay as well... always check the feedback and if there's 20 people saying 'never got my item... you generally shouldn't trust em.. that what feedback is for what you buying?

neil Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 PayPal is the way forward I used to use cheques all the time but paypal is so much easier and you dont notice how much you are spending as easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
