Some with -1 feedback won my phone

It seems you may have to risk a neg here. That's a small price to pay to avoid the aggrevation he could cause you.

erm................if he's prepared to pay cash in person, go for it

meet at a mcdonalds or police station car park or something!

DONT ACCEPT ANY PAYMENT OTHER THAN CASH

remember, as kev discovered on the thread thats been [wrongly] closed, what goes around comes around

reehsetin I dont know if you are male or female, but do NOT meet this person, for all you know he could have a couple of friends waiting round the corner ready to jump you

if it looks like fish, smells like fish, then it probably is fish(y)

(im female) ^ my thinking, cash in my hand would be good bit im not prepared to meet random people! not worth the risk no way!

reehsetin

he stated that he thought paying in cash would be better because he had neg feedback but have told him i will only use paypal i dont want to meet, my listing does not say i accept cash and if thats how he wanted to pay then he should have asked me before bidding ended

how long does ebay say i have to wait for payment?
figuring i wait till then to relist the item

I would meet them and take cash for the phone. But then again I'm a bloke. If you're worried, offer to meet them at a busy time (lunch time) in a local town centre cafe or something. Meet them inside, and don't give them the phone until they hand over the cash (not even to look at). The only thing is if the money is fake or stolen.

But definately don't do anything that you don't feel comfortable with.

If you do decide to meet the buyer (which I wouldn't advise doing!) definately take someone with you. Don't go alone.

i could take my bloke and his bro but even then wouldnt want to - not worth the hassle

DO NOT meet this person. as someone who has been attacked in a busy town centre DO NOT risk it. passing 'good citizens' assume its a domestic and you wont get any help if something nasty happens! trust me on this one.

also can i just say i was once a -1 feedback rating now im almost +200 but when it comes to mobile phone sales as someone above said 'if it smells like a fish it prbably is a fish lol' like that one!

havent had any payment from this guy via paypal, can i open up a non payment dispute on him? it has been 7 days? is it worth it (think it is just to get rid of him from ebay!)? plus ive got about £6 worth of ebay fees because of the phone
