Item sold - buyer wants me to post to non paypal account

Nixxx

Hi

2 mins after my item sold, my buyer sends me a message requesting me to post to a Spanish address and not their ebay/paypal address. I stated on my listing that I only post to the UK, but they are requesting a postage amount to Spain.

I don't actually mind posting to Spain as it would be posted via International signed for. However, I am trying to find out the implications of posting to a non-paypal account. The buyer is trying to assure me that they have done this before and to be honest, their feedback comments is one of the best I have ever seen. They have 150+ feedback but I've heard soo many horror stories that I am still not sure. Is there a way they can put their postal address into Paypal aswell?

Your thoughts please.

Thanks

Nixxx

You have no seller protection at all unless you send it to the address supplied by paypal. Tell the buyer to add the address before they pay and you can then use the Spanish one.

Thanks, I've just asked them to add it into payapl. We'll see what they say.

Thanks

Hi

My buyer has stated that they have input this address to paypal but it says unconfirmed. What do you recommend?

It doesn't need to be confirmed, all that matters is that when you look at the paypal payment in your paypal it says OK to post and you send it to the address in the same box.

Excellent, thanks Soolin.
