I quite fancy a set of forks on iv seen on Pinkbike. 2015 Fox float 180s. finding these forks new for reasonable money is a Challenge. Especially in 26in flavor – they seem to be like hens teeth!
At the price I would snap them up but there is a problem…or is there?
The seller is in Turkey – Normally Paypal goods and services would be fine – but the seller has emailed me saying (and Google seems to agree) that Turkey has switched off Paypal 🙁
No way I’m doing bank transfer – the only other option the seller has offered is Paypal to one of his friends who has an international account and can use Paypal…
So what do you think? Too risky? Would Paypal cover me sending money to the ‘friend’ of the seller?
Also – is there likely to be import duty on these given Turkey isnt in the EU…or does that not matter for a private sale?
