Buyer wants to send courier, is Paypal ok?

swingaloo

I have an item on ebay at the moment which because of the size have listed as collection only.

A buyer has asked what price I would agree to sell and close the auction rather than let it run as she really wants the item.

She has asked if she can send a courier (at her expense) which I have agreed to and asked how i want to be paid.

I usually use paypal or payment in cash if its a collection but Ive never had anyone send a courier before.

Is Paypal an ok option for payment in this scenario?

If she can arrange a courier for the item and you are happy to send it by courier, why not send it yourself and charge them for the cost? You would have full control of it then. If you go on a website like https://www.parcelmonkey.com or https://www.interparcel.co.uk you can compare and get the best price.

Get buyer to pay via bank transfer, they then lose the Paypal buyer protection, also saves you the PP fees.
