Re: Is it a Scam?
 

OP, DO NOT DO IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

Report the buyer and cancel the transaction.

To Danshan: There are too many things that can and WILL MOST LIKELY go wrong with this transaction.

There is minimum protection as is.
Doing it this way is even less protection for the seller.

If the buyer screams 'The seller told me to pay outside of ebay'
He disputes the charge, the seller gets NARU and thats that for this phone that will most likely be long gone.

Big Cj
what less protection is there, please clarify?

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

I meant seller, not buyer.

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

My concern was that the buyer is telling the OP that he (the buyer) wants to save money by going outside eBay.

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

He will not have to wait for a case outcome.

Even with an invoice, paypal will most likely jump on the buyer bandwagon.

If the buyers address is unconfirmed, he most likely couldnt bid on the sellers goods to begin with. So he tried to usurp the transaction and head straight to paypal. :s

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

You blow your own money.

I am selective about losing mine.

Invoices are for known and trusted buyers.

Not someone telling me they want to 'save fees'.

As the seller, I am in control.

Never EVER the buyer.

:boink:

GB Can I ask you something?

Not a chance Mate.

This is how it works.

If you come from a less populated country in the world that is rich. Your account bs will be less far more less.

If you registered in a country that has more then 300,000,000 people where do you think most of the online crimes come from?

I wonder how setting up a Nigerian account set up would be?

Nigerian, Chinese, USA, Brazil, India, and some other of the 3rd world countries.

I know in Australia they send out a letter to the address to verify so they know you live there. I don't know if they still do that or not but I read about it mate.

It's very hard. When I was 18 years old. I use to make paypal accounts just to see limits in all the countries in the world. Brazil, And Australia were at $4,000 sending limit or receiving limits. I can't remember what one it was but it was like this.

In the USA you require to enter the SSN. Now since you live in the USA you must think the rest of the world has the same system right? NOPE!

It's all different for everyone else.

If you go to Mcds in Northern Parts of America, the food is different then the southern states on the menu, or any where else you go in the world.

Ebay is the same way, it's different for any other country in the world.

You guys deal with so much bs that I don't even care to start up USA accounts. I'm thinking of making them just to sell on them but I'd never use them personally with this $20,000 or 200 limit per year. What a joke!

Sure you can register EIN numbers, etc. But ...nevermind.
:smash:

I use to talk to a guy from a 3rd world country. And the things he had to do just to open up an account made it so not worth it at all.

I just told him get a VPS and buy a USA account way less problems. Or a European account.

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

Gb are you joking Invoices only for select people come on only your friends in this forum believe that! I send 5-10 invoices a day and ps they are not my friends.

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

Checks date on calendar.

Not his birthday.

Not mine either.

What?????

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

hey GB can you send me an invoice. I want to save you fees! :laugh::pound:

P.S. This is for all those times you made me crack up by reading on this forum. I figured I'd return the favor! :thumb::ranger:

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

Not a problem.

Currency preference?

But we better be careful. Dont want to spam a thread

;)

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

Welfare money!

If you say so!


:focus:

Anyways I'd be scared if someone wants to save me fees because they can report you to ebay for dealing with business outside of EB and that's not good.

Bad for business.

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

Like I said, invoices are for those who will not do me harm.

:juggle:

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

Nah man, sounds legit ;)

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

Yup why take a chance and risk them reporting you and asking us on the forums right? :mod::thumb:

I've had people trying to buy off of ebay also.

The moment I say yes is the moment they can make that phone call to ebay to show I broke the rules and god knows what would happen to my account. Why risk it? All of this for what? $0.75 cents savings? I'm counting the $100's I'd lose in the long run for a few months.

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

I don't take high risk the only one is my transfers from account to account. I sell low risk items. Only problem is customers. I'm to scared to sell iPhone covers and pinsbfor iPhone worried I'd get flagged because it was hot selling items to get feed back so I threw away 100's of those I'm scared the title iPhone word will flag me. So why risk it? I build my own feedback. U know my secret.

Re: Is it a Scam?
 

If it a high priced item like iPhones, I would not suggest to go outside of eBay. You are taking too much risk...
