Quick paypal question.

[Colbaker]

Hi all,

Pretty sure this has been answered at some point, especially with all the ebay/paypal threads but cant find what I need.

Basically I have someone buying something off of me, not through ebay, they want to send me the payment through paypal because of the assurances it offers, he is also arranging courier to collect.

does this sound ok to you? What could go wrong?

This does sound a bit dodgy. If they arrange the courier/collection, then would you have any way to prove that delivery had been made?

If not, they just file a dispute with paypal saying item not received, you can't prove otherwise and paypal refunds the money.

I assume getting proof of collection from me will solve this?

Also item sold as not sure if working.
