Hi
Thinking of buying a used F&F from an individual in Europe. It's a bit niche so worth the hassle.
How would STW do it? The F&F is legit and in good almost new condition.
Whats the best way of paying and having some certainty/ recourse?
What sort of cost for shipping and anything to watch out for? How have others done it?
PayPal but not gift should be fairly safe.
Shipping a frame from Scotland to The Netherlands cost me about £60 with Parcelforce, not sure about the other way.

Start with zero "recourse", is it still worth the risk?
it might be cheapest/easiest/most fun to easyjet out there and back again if its somewhere near an airport. Get a weekend's riding in and definitely declare it for tax reasons on the way back home
I paid 20 quid manchester to alicante in January, 60 quid for the bike, I d go and collect and pay cash. Customs may want a cut if you courier it, spain certainly would.
Belgium.
Surely PayPal will give some protection - it covers goods that aren't as described or don't turn up/ turn up damaged. Surely that's pretty good recourse?
What would a courier base any charges on? I guess there must be forms to fill in now?
Could get it sent to a mate in France who comes over in a van every couple of weeks....

Value it is insured for.
