• Ok so the guy I'm buying a frame off is bugging me via email asking for payment to his bank account instead of through ebay. I've asked politely for him to send me the total amount incl shipping via ebay instead but so far he seems unwilling. I'm not desperate for the item, thinking I'll wait until he agrees to settle through ebay as otherwise I'll be fucked if the frame doesn't show up, right?

  • If the frame didn't turn up or you needed to dispute you wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
    Messaging outside the platform isn't good either.

  • Nah, fuck that. Stinks of you not getting what you pay for.

    Don't reply to the emails, just message him through ebay, say ebay have told you not to pay outwith the system socan he cancel your sale. Even if he doesn'tcancel the sale eBay won't give you a non-payment mark if the seller is asking you to settle directly.

  • Finding a cheap frame is easy, getting money back from someone else's bank account is very difficult.
