We will be in touch
Having never sold online I have a few bits I've taken off a motorbike I've just traded in to sell. Was going to post them on an owners group on Facebook that I'm a member of. What's the best way of sorting out payment other than face to face. Is it safe to give them your account no and sort code or use PayPal?
Cheers, Graham.
It's safe to take a payment via bank transfer. Although there is significant risk to the buyer so they may be reluctant.
Paypal is usually the preferred method, but it's a ballache for sellers, worse if you're not doing it via eBay. If you've not taken many payments via PP, or you're selling a 'high risk item' (which is pretty much anything at the moment) You should expect to wait up to 3 weeks to actually get your money, and pay a few % for the privilege. Also PP safety is heavily weighted in favour of the buyer, so if they claim they never got it, it's not as described, or any other number of dodgy shit, you're likely to lose any claim.
