Interest in item after auction ended?

Options
I had a german guy message me about an item that ended a few weeks ago (BIN never sold) he wants to buy it.
Should I relist the item BIN or just request he makes a payment via paypal bypassing ebay completely?

    OP was a BIN though so would be of use. Also why turn a buyer away, take the money..... NOW
  • Item is only worth a few quid was trying to build up feedback. Can I relist tomorrow and take advantage of the free weekend?
  • ask them if they'd rather you went through eBay on a BIN or if they'd prefer to Paypal the money to you.

    You could potentially cost yourself more money by doing that! Just send him a PayPal invoice for the goods through the request money tab
  • you could indeed but some people might not be too happy to randomly send people money, so you have to give the option ;)

    although i like the 'bad scheming gypsy', I'm just trying to imagine if it's possible to have a good scheming gypsy.
