    You'd be better off asking her to list it with a BIN of £150 and then have a very short list time, emailing you the link when she does it so you can click the BIN as soon as it appears, covered by Ebay and Paypal that way!

    Not necessarily, if you wanted to get a refund for sale not as described (say it was wrong size, damage that wasnt described etc) you cant, as there is no description in the first place when bought outside ebay.
