GENERAL ADVICE
Always take detailed pictures of your item (incl. box and size tag)
Keep all your pictures and negotiation protocols saved for at least 6 months
If you decide to have a meetup always take a friend with you and choose a busy place as location. The ideal place is a bank with an ATM that lets you deposit money
The only valid payment option during a meetup is CASH, ONLY CASH!
Use a pen like this to check the authenticity of the money : Click here
Never to business with minors as they are not legally competent to make such transactions. The sales contract can be revoked by the parents to your disadvantage
PAYPAL GOODS & SERVICE
Buyers can open a case on you up to 180 day after the transaction
The amount in question will be blocked on your account or your deposited bank account
Only after the case is closed the money will be released again. If you lose the case the money will be gone
Sometimes it can be really random who will win the case
PAYPAL FRIENDS & FAMILY
After the payment the buyer can report an βunauthorized accessβ on his account. You will lose the money and the shoes
The buyer could also report that he accidentally paid by friends & family instead of good & services. Paypal will revoke the transaction. Again you will lose the money and the shoes
BANK & REVOLUT TRANSFER The buyer has to open (and win) a lawsuit against you to see his money again. This is the safest option for sellers!
CASH
Small risk of getting fake money or getting mugged
If possible use an ATM machine with the money deposit option
CASH ON DELIVERY
The buyer can refuse the package or let it stay at the local post office for about one week. You will have to pay all costs involved
If the transaction successful it will take around 7 days until you get the money transferred from the post office
How to convince a buyer to pay via bank transfer
Offer a legit check on your person ( in a Facebook group,etc.)
Link your real eBay account (ideal case: with a lot of positive reviews)
Offer tagged pictures ( with your name + time + date and maybe a specific code word)
Offer a picture with your ID but never reveal your ID number
Offer your mobile number to have a short call or Whatsapp conversation
Offer to buy the DHL label before the money has arrived (it can be cancelled) but only ship after you really have received the money
