Well EBM, in the end I think you did the right thing for you, you didn't buy and it does seem a strange reason to be given, although I have bought once from CN and his shipping was quicker than others from this country, my only concern was been asked to pay with PayPal as a gift but I took the gamble and luckily it went very smoothly, (as a rule I don't normally do this with new sellers), I can't understand why PayPal was offered to me and not to you and my only guess is with your amount it would not be expected to ask for it as a gift, I think this site wants to protect buyers hence it does ask people not to pay as paypal gifts. Perhaps there should be a rule for sellers to state the full amount they are selling items for which includes the PayPal fee, so paying as a gift doesn't become the norm, as I said before I think PayPal gift can and does work especially when both parties have had experiences with each other, Don't know why some have acted so angrily to your comment EBM after all it was just your opinion.

Right I might get hammered for this but I think it's sneaky! I was recently in discussions to buy a Campy groupset from cybernck recently but all he could offer was a direct bank transfer as a payment option! I said I would only pay using Paypal and the sale fell through.
Quoting @cybernck
Even if I were able to take PayPal payment for the groupset, it normally takes 30-60 days for payments to propagate for withdrawal and at the moment all the funds are in the "pending period" and I can't withdraw any money, while having paid for loads of items to be shipped recently - my hands are currently tied up and I couldn't pay for postage of your parts - so the sale would be pointless.
With Azimo I get an instant cash payout and can ship without worries and buy other things too.
So, for now, at least until some money propagates, so I can withdraw it and receive more payments - it's a no go, sorry.
Oh but that didn't stop him posting it on Ebay with Paypal as an option the very same day!

Dude our business is concluded! You might have good feedback here but outright lying gets you found out!
