Hi all,have a dilema that i've never come across on ebay,have an item for sale(sony psp) you can only pay through paypal, but a member has e-mailed me and asked to pick up the item and pay the buy-it-now price but with cash as he is having problems with his paypal account.......

I know i can end the listing early but don't want to break the rules, but also want to sell the item,can someone come up with a solution,please........

I have done this. Just get him to buy it the usual way by going through the buy it now process etc.
Then when he comes to colect he will give you the cash. After he has gone through the process, just tell him to make sure he does not go into the 'pay now' screen.
You arent breaking any rules doing it that way.

Yeah, and if he starts making "oh, i am having trouble with my ebay account as well" noises then just forget him.

Just remember if you do let him pay through "Buy it now" you will pay E-bay fees on the sale. If you end the listing you don't. Up to you but i know what i would do

Nowt in the rules to say you can't end the listing early, it's your item and you have paid to list it in the first place so e-bay are not loosing out
