paying outside ebay.

[darryl22]

hi
if i were to purchase a item of a eay selling outisde of ebay , and the item is not as described , can i open a case agaisnt the seller
kind regards . or will i be rejected.

[GrannyT]

Of course you can't. If it's outside of Ebay what has it got to do with Ebay?

If that's your worry buy it from Ebay or find someone else selling it

[vany]

you buy outside ebay= you are outside ebay buyer protection program.

[Thankful]

Yup, anything out of eBay is nothing to do with them, hence not protected by eBay, i'd think twice before buying what ever you want to buy, specially if your having doubts aswell.

spellign error
i meant if the seller is selling on ebay but if i were to pay using paypal without going through ebay platform
kidn regardsa

[baloch]

if the seller is selling on ebay then go through ebay platform as you are paying through paypal.

but if you are paying through paypal and it is goods then yes you can open a dispute.

[rsot]

PP allows for buyer protection whether or not the sale is from eb.

[oompaloompa]

yes as long as eligible eg goods or services, not personal

[darryl22]

does it proetct me against iem not described through.
as i heard other stores that it not if the seller send you a invoice from paypal.

[oompaloompa]

you buying, yes it protects you....for snad

[rsot]

Pay via your credit card for increased protection.

[eBay King]

That snad thing is a right pain. Some buyers will use it dishonestly, even when the product is perfect.

[degsey69]

Don't forget if the sale was done in the UK you are protected under the distance selling act.

[baloch]

also remember paypal and ebay both favor buyers over sellers so if you are buying then you are well protected.

Istead of coming back with more questions, tell a bit more of the story eh.....

along the lines of

I have this chance to buy something that seems too good to be true & the seller wants to do the deal off ebay/ I asked the seller to do the transaction off ebay.

Now I'm worried if I have protection

Any suggestions to make sure I am protected



Yes/No?

[Stigger]

Or

I want to know if there is buyer protection out side ebay because i have seen this really nice high value item i want to pay for but not buy.
