• How does pre payment work for collection sales? For instance if I pay for a bike on card and go there and it's junk, what happens next (hypothetical, this hasn't happened to me yet). Is it in any way safer, or as safe as just paying with bank transfer once you've verified it's not junk?

    Ebay offer system now demands payment on acceptance of the offer so I'd have to pay on card off I go through official channels.

  • I'd be contacting the seller and offering cash/bank/paypal friends transfer once you'd viewed and were happy with the condition.

    The seller will avoid fees doing it that way so if they are reluctant then it's probably a good sign they're hiding summat.
