Hi ive just purchased a car

I've only got limit funds in my account til tomorrow, he wants paying tonight or he's relisting.

Can i still pay through paypal??? Do they have a overdraft facility???

Cheers

 

i think if you pay tonight it will say payment pending at his end so all will be good and your funds will be in tommo so he'll be none the wiser.

 

have you seen the car? are you confident of the seller?, seems strange he wont wait to take payment and is demanding it now?

 

What? Pay before you get the car ?? Doesnt sound right to me. Stop & think !!

 

I know, i just get excited though.

OK, i see what you guys are saying.

 

haha it is easy to do that, but dont lose your head, if there are any doubts fuck it off.

i sell a lot of cars on ebay and i would never demand payment like that, iam usually telling buyers NOT to pay on paypal, come see the car and pay cash, bank transfer or bankers draft, paypal isnt as secure as those types of payment.

just doesnt sound right imo, when did you win the auction or commit to buy?

also as its friday night i cant understand why he would want it in his paypal account tonight, (only reason i can think of is if he has got to send money to someone else?), if he wants to withdraw the money to his bank account it wont start the transfer till monday morning regardless.

 

SCAM!!!!!

Be careful dude

 

I've emailed him, he seems ok. fingers crossed. Hopefully it'll be sorted tomorrow.




If i pay through paypal, arent i protected????

 

Fuck no.

 

no not at all, it states in paypals terms and conditions cars are excluded,

 

its not a 4k escoss is it?

 

Nope, just a cheap runner. Well, he's supplied a phone number, so gonna ring him in the morning. He has supplied an invoice too.

I always thought the buyer was protected no matter what the item for sale

 

did you get the car with a cheap bid?

i've had this. won an escort gti for Ł200 about 8 o'clock on sunday night, because i couldn't collect that night with cash he backed out of the sale saying i wasn't a genuine buyer, spoke to him on the phone and he said he wanted more money.

and paypal doesn't offer you any real protection mate, makes you wonder why they take 4%.

 

so thats why you are willing to bend over for him, when did you win the auction?

still doesnt sound right, and like i said cars arent covered on their t&c's

Thanks for opening my eyes guys. I will see what happens in the morning, i aint gonna pay for anything.

 

just tell him cash on collection mate.. i wouldn't give a fuck what he says, if you get there an he refuses tell him to fuck off, i always list cars as cash on collection.

 

I cant see why anyone would want payment through Pay Pal for a car anyway,the ripping off bastards.
If I sell a bike or car it always coc.I sometimes ask for a dipper through PP just to cover my time and fees otherwise Cash only.
I wouldn't pay for anything either unless I had viewed it first

 

Rang him, he seemed ok. he's gonna deliver it late next week+ pay him on delivery.

I think i was just been a bit of a girl last night.
I normally dont get bargins Fingers crossed all goes well.

Cheers for the advice, i wil be more careful when buying in future.

 

best bet mate, paying on delivery that way you can check the car over and make sure it is as described on the ebay auction,

good luck with it
