Ok the guy who won the 109 has asked for my paypal details, and wants to pay asap as he is suposed to have arranged to collect next week and ship the week after..
read this and see what you think!


Neil- Howdy! Glad to have won the Landy! Was wondering if would be
alright to pay with Paypal- I have a GBP balance of several hundred
pounds (which hga, and can fund the rest from my $ account.   I have a
guy to pick it up, he is actually right in Brierly Hill, and is
charging
me 100 pounds to get it to the docks in Liverpool.   Can I give you 509
pounds (plus a bit for the aggravation?), and have you pay him in cash
when he turns up?  Seems like a nice chap.  I will fwd. you his local
number, have it in the office, but am on the road at the moment, on the
way to see Bruce Springsteen over in (New) Jersey.

By the way, I have been exporting Rovers to the states for over 12
years, and have plenty of references over there if you are a bit leery,
all the big Rover places know me, i.e. John Craddock, Alan and Glen at
Paddock Spares, so if you want to make sure eveything is on the up and
up, don't hesitate to call either one.

Looking forward to getting the Rover, I have made tentative
arrangements
for it to be picked up on Friday.   Let me know, and I will call a bit
after 6 tomorrow eve.

Cheers!

scorpio:
make the call to paddock or craddocks and see what they have to say,but other than that as long as he checks out ok the deal seems good to me. His paypal idea saves him on charges and other stuff if he only makes one payment to you and you then forward the £100 to his courier.

missroadrage:
It's worth checking with Craddocks & Paddocks. I'd be concerned about him paying you to pay the collection guy - he should sort that out direct so there is no come back on you.

If you are really concerned ask ebay for their advise they are really helpful when you have problems :wink:

TimM:
My first reaction to that would be that it MIGHT be a bit dodgy......

The pesamist in me says he will pay you with dodgy money via paypal, get you to pay £500 cash to a stranger and give him the keys to your beloved motor...... he drives off then the credit bounces/fails, you are out of pocket by not only 1 landie, but £500 cash too....

But it might be OK......

Just be very careful.

bezzabsa:
just seems a little bit too much like the ' i'll send you £1000 and send me the balance jobbies' may just be me being paranoid!!
Plus I dont have a paypal account!! so he has aske if he can do a wire transfer.. but needs my account No. sort code etc..
