what would the Police do?
Exactly the same happened to a friend of mine with a piece of amateur radio equipment. He got the police involved and contacted a consumer programme on Radio Four (moneybox). He ended up getting his money back from Paypal. The scumsucker who stitched him up kept the wireless but at least my friend didn't end up out of pocket. He's learned now.
Identity theft perhaps? Posing as a buyer one could easily get someone's name, address, phone number, email, and bank details (from the sort code you can then get the bank). That's a pretty good portfolio.
Ha, good example.

That was 8 yrs ago - much harder to do now with two factor authentication etc.
Eh? The article says someone used his bank details to set up a direct debit.
If you go to Diabetes UK (the charity they set it up with) all you need to set it up is an email, name, address, sort code, and account number. Clarkson was foolish enough to provide all of those
(apart from the email address).

Something which would be noticed immediately. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

I won't use Paypal to buy or sell anything it's awful. Bank Transfer or nothing.
But he never authorised it and thus under the Direct Debit Guarantee he got his money back.
This has been answered above already with specific figures but typically Ebay takes a 10% cut ( including on the postage! ) then Paypal a further 3.5% ish.
The amount of junk I would have never would have sold otherwise if not for Ebay, I will typically just pay it without too much hassle.
Often there are max fees of £2 and such, when that happens all the expensive items go on there.

Read through and many points to consider. However in the end I think this guy was dodgy. I said he can do BT and he went on about how I don't trust him and he can't do business with me as he's now too upset... just told him deal is off he's got issues lol

Is he collecting the bike obviously?
No. You do not accept paypal for that.
Cash or bank transfer or tell him to get lost.
Edit: I read first post and knew instantly scam/dodgy.
Then see this. I rest my case.
