I'm selling a small painting on ebay. I don't think it's worth much, maybe £10 or so. I said in the listing collection only, maybe UK post at a push. Anyway I got an e-mail from Poland asking if I'd post there. First thought - it's a scam. But isn't that usually phones, laptops ie higher value items ?
What do you guys think ?

I doubt scammers are diversifying to paintings :P otherwise every auction on ebay would be flooded with such questions. Check their feedback would be the obvious advice...0

Nice one ! I just did - he's legit, seems to be buying bits all over Europe.

Quick question
How do I add paypal to the listing now ? It was set up without ( although I have paypal account ). Another thought - I've never sold via paypal, do I need to do anything with the account so it can accept ??0 -

Tell them you're happy for their bid provided they pay by BIC + IBAN bank transfer (since it's free of charges and risk for you to receive).
Hope your artwork makes good money!"Money is truthful. If a person speaks of their honour, make sure they pay in cash."0
