payment method

Hi, a prospective buyer wants to pay by bank transfer although I already told him I accept paypal only. Is bank transfer safe or should I stick to paypal payment?

Thanks, Anna.

bank transfer is very safe for sellers, not so for buyers,

once a payment has cleared into your bank account it cannot be claimed back, unlike a paypal payment

if I were you I would be accepting the bank transfer, but they need to purchase through the listing first,

There is no reason/risk for you as a seller to refuse payment by bank transfer.

A buyer loses their ebay buyer protection if they pay by any method other than Paypal.

They cannot claim item not received or not as described. It's as good as cash.
