eBay - What would you do

**Keif** · 7th November 2010, 12:19

I recently sold an item on eBay.

It was won by a user with zero feedback (but we all have to start somewhere) based in Poland.

They've contacted me, and saying he has problems with their PayPal. So they've arranged for a friend from England to make the payments on Wednesday.

If you were in my situation what would you do.

Take the payment from someone else and post it to Poland.
Take the payment from someone else and post it to the register address on the PayPal payment.
Insist he pays me.
Second chance offer the first losing bidder.

Gotta be honest, If i ever sell anything on ebay I only sell to UK buyers, with at least 5 - 10 good feedback due to there being too many dodgy people about who setup accounts on the likes of ebay just so they can scam you out of your money.. I know that tars a lot of people with the same brush, but ATEOTD there's only one person who'll lose out if it goes tits up..

Any chance of seeing the item? How did his bidding go? Was he high bidder from start to finish or did he up his bid a couple of times?
TBH I think your about to be scammed. Zero feedback and from Poland but with paypal not working............... and hes bidding on items from another country............. Sorry just say thanks but no thanks, report him to ebay as a dodgy account and sell it to the 2nd guy.

Sorry mate private bidders listing, was he high bidder from start to finish(may indicate that he does care as he's no intention of paying with his money) or did he bid, get out bid then bid again(may indicate genuine bidder).
