using your account start to send someone £300 as payment for goods, then click the option to pay the fees it will say something like

You are sending £350
Person X will receive £300

Thats just and example, just to give you the idea of what I'm trying to say Thumbs Up

Then get the buyer to send you that amount via paypal

You need to ask yourself why he wants to pay extra fees if he's coming to collect it anyway ! Why not just take the cash with him.

So he has the protection offered by Paypal should he get sold a knackered engine? Or maybe he doesn't want to carry that amount of cash on him, for fear of loss, or more sinister, that he may get to the destination to be met by a couple of blokes with baseball bats and told to cough up the money, as has happened to some guys I know when they went to collect a car advertised on autotrader.... so yeah, plenty of reasons really.

another option for paypal over cash is maybe he doesn't have the cash and wants to buy using a credit card.

Or he wants to pay by Paypal, get the goods, then raise a BS dispute and get all his money back and a free engine. Which Paypal will go along with because Paypal is run by scum.

Bollocks, how can you claim that Paypal is run by scum? It is run by businessmen.

Um, hang on, I think I see the fatal flaw in my argument here....

id say paying by paypal in this instance is a great idea personally, no knowledge of how the engine is, could be knackered, and the breaker wont tell you it runs like a bag o shite, from my experiance with breakers it would be really akward to try and prise a refund out of them as they try to blame you in some stupid way..

Yeah it can work both ways really, in this instance, since the OP had clearly stated cash in collection, I'd have stuck with that original statement.

maybe just maybe

The money is in a Paypal account.. It can be a hassle getting the funds top a bank account to take it out of a machine....

Maybe his paypal isn't linked to his bank account...

Yep, 7 days consistently, so yesterday I transferred £150 from paypal to my bank account and it won't show up there till next Tuesday, oh but when you want to put money INTO paypal, well, rest assured there's no delay there. I summise that it's because the longer they have my money in there the more interest they can make off it, so they take their time when it comes to money out, and put their foot down when it's money in. Cunts.

Exactamundo. I'd shoot the top bloke out of hand, seen the smug greasy little turd on TV, don't know its name. Utter scumbag, sitting there lying through its teeth with its hand held out and sense of entitlement writ large. A con-artist, nothing more.
