Ebay messer!

[Jamie S]

I have recently sold an item on ebay (Boat engine), the guy who has won it has decided that he will only pay via paypal , I do not want paying via paypal , and even said cash on collection only in the advert, where do I stand with this?

[CaNsA]

Tell him where to go innit

[jimspeed]

if its a collection only item then cash mate as there is nothing stopping him getting home and then refunding/starting a claim thru paypal plus paypal will take 4% or something.
contact him and say either cash or no sale

If you clearly stated cash on collection then tell him to Do One!

It's partly ebays fault for insisting buyers accept paypal, which is stupid for vehicles.

If he insists on making you loose money then what can you get away with re the engine? Could you for example remove the starter motor as it's not mentioned as included in the auction. Or if it's listed as a non runner then remove a piston.

What you need to do is send an e-mail saying that you stated cash on collection etc. if he doesn't comply, then open a case against him over ebay. Its in the 'resolution centre', i think that basically sends him an e-mail about payment or whatever, then he has about a week to pay.
I cant remember exactly, but i had to do that when selling my Gs.... TWICE!
If you're not sure, e-mail ebay, i seem to remember them getting back to me pretty sharpish. But for god sake, DO NOT ring ebay! You will only get in touch with some indian woman on the quitest phone line known to man!

Tell him he can pay via PayPal, as long as he pays the associated costs as this was not agreed prior to the auction closing. If he does not comply, open a dispute within the resolution centre, copy all of your corrospndence with him in there. Eventually, they will award it in your favour, allowing you to relist it again, free.

No, he cannot just 'take back the payment'. He would have to go through the resolution centre and prove why he should get the money back. Secondly, the money will ONLY be taken out of your account (by PayPal themselves), once you have the engine back. He has to also prove he has given it back and you have to confirm you have received it.

What's all this tell him to do one, or make him pay the paypal costs?

You have listed an auction, wrote on it 'cash only' but it will also list paypal as a method of payment within the listing.

He is perfectly within his rights to pay via paypal. If you do not want to accept the paypal payment, then and dispute will go against you, as you are the one breaking the deal.

Yes it is a pain that you have to accept paypal as a payment method, but you knew that before listing the auction. Writing cash on collection only doesn't change that fact.

[Adam.I]

No, he isn't within his rights to pay via PayPal. The terms of sale have been finalized. By bidding, he agreed to the terms set out within the listing. Therefore, demaning to pay in another method is in breach of those terms. Furthermore, the method to recieved payment via PayPal can be removed from the listing.

The listing will have paypal as a listed method of payment. Didn't you read what I wrote?

You can't list on ebay (except vehicles) without allowing paypal as a method of payment. Writing cash only on the auction does not remove the paypal payment method.

The only person breaking the terms of the sale is the seller.

eBay wants to ensure that the marketplace offers buyers safe, appropriate and convenient payment choices for the marketplace. eBay requires all sellers listing on eBay.co.uk to offer payments through PayPal (with some exceptions set out below). PayPal is not only convenient to use, but it also offers buyers and sellers protection assistance against fraud, chargebacks and theft of financial data.

eBay requires all sellers listing on eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie to accept PayPal in their listings with the exception of listings in the categories of cars, motorcycles, aircraft, boats, caravans, trailers, trucks (commercials), services and property categories.
