PayPal question

skippy64

I've just sold a camera to a guy that wants to pay by Paypal but as he is inPoland he has asked me for my verified PayPal address because as he quotes in his email.

Oh, and one very important think.
Could you send me your VERYFIED PayPal e-mail adress.
I can't use "Pay Now" from eBay, because i need to pay in two instalments (that's because i can't pay more than 150 GBP at one time, so i need to transfer 150 GBP and 81 GBP).

As I'm not a regular ebayer if I do give him my paypal email am I exposing myself to any possible scam/danger on my account.
I checked his purchases on his feedback and he has been buying camera gear but getting this email has me puzzled.
TIA, skippy64

be careful, you're only covered if the transaction is in ONE payment

read the paypal TOC

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_spp

"Seller Protection Policy"

you're only covered if.........

"The seller accepted a single payment from one PayPal account for the purchase"


i.e. if he were to do a chargeback, you can't claim the full 231 back, only the 150 or the 81

another thing to watch out for is that



paypal won't fully cover a transaction to poland in their seller protection policy

other than that, theres not too much of a worry as he can manually put the auction details into paypal

But doesn't that go both ways? If he were to do a chargeback couldn't he only do it for one of the transactions for the item and not both?
