I take it you're not posting, and don't accept Paypal?

[bebek]

I am interested if it can be posted.

I am happy to wrap it for a courier if the buyer arranges collection. The box is 66 x 51 x 18 cm and it weighs about 8Kg. I've never used PayPal but I'm happy to give it a try. Does it cost me anything?

Paypal does have fees but there are ways around it. You can ask for payment as gift for a feeless transaction or insist the buyer pays the fees.

A word regarding couriers - just make sure that any courier who is collecting is a courier you'd be comfortable with using yourself and package well. If this incurs the cost of packaging materials then be sure to charge what it is costing you.

Peace

Interested, 2nd in line.

Can I ask we please hold on this transaction...

The way I read it is as follows...

Original sales post was collection only..

Sir beakers query caused the seller to include a courier option, now if sir beaker had no interest whatsoever then he would not have posted at all...

The rules are not always black and white and in this unique case then I think the gentlemanly and community spirited thing to do is allow sir beaker first refusal..

So on this basis the line of interest which the thread should follow is...

1st SirBeaker
2nd Bebek...

I request you cooperate and follow this.

Thx
TC

PS... I actually was the first to come across this thread and if courier had been option I would have gone for it as i'm sure many others browsing too..

Actually I was 1st reading the thread 1 minute after posted, google what the Tatung TC01 actually was, looked at the wife then lowered my head like a puppy in trouble

+1 on what TC said good form if order is adjusted.

@simonsellick

Paypal is a good way to trade with, it's a safer way to transfer money and if a seller does not ship the item and just does a runner with your money paypal (as long as you pay the fees(not gift)) you can usually claim your money back similar to a credit card transaction.

also as your new to PayPal there is a fee to transfer the money to your bank, its small but also account for with in your sale unless you intend to use the funds from paypal to buy something else, PayPal is accepted at far too many places making it soooo easy for me to spend it

good luck

Thanks, I thought I might have missed out .

I don't know how far Bebek got through with his transaction.
