Some people will say that you must relist it through ebay as they found you the buyer.
However I would give the price I want & send them a paypal invoice for the amount.
You can of course list it as a BIN.0 -
I would relist it and get them to bid....0

Thanx,it was a kids toy id listed.i tend to list for what id like for it so if they want it i will re-list0

I've had people ask if the item is still for sale etc etc so you relist and they still don't buy.
Don't sell it 'off ebay' it might work for some peoiple but you could run into trouble and you won't get back up and if ebay find out you might get barred.0 -
O really.dont you get a bit of a charge through BIN now though?0

It's 40p for BIN.0

Relist the item. If they want to bid they can do so. You then have the option to 'end the listing and sell to the highest bidder' if you wish to.
That way you don't pay a BIN fee you don't need and who knows, someone else might bid.
As to saying "how much do you want for it" - quite obviously you want the starting price at least! They are chancing their arm. If you decide you can let it go for cheaper than list it at that.0 -

No you wouldn't. Nor could you run in to trouble. It was listed, didn't sell, ebay have no further involvement.
Sending a paypal invoice gives exactly the same protection as an ebay sale. Why faff about relisting?0 -
Thanx i did end up doing a BIN but in future will just send an invoice through paypal0
